Retro Review by Ash BakerA Sgle Man is a movie directed by a gay man (Tom Ford) and based on a novel by the same name wrten by a gay man (Christopher Isherwood) and I believe that the men have portrayed, wh re, a pellg story of a suicidal gay man. A Sgle Man follows Gee Falner (played by Col Firth), a Brish gay man livg Los Angel, on what he has cid will be the last day of his life. The technique draws attentn to self, but a way that alerts the dience to patterns of Gee’s ’s this re, and bee of what suici reprents to Gee, that I believe Ford ultimately p ntributg to the “bury your gays” cliché.

Of the films based on the novels, Ford's is, I thk, the bt, though Isherwood's often savage social cricism – of universy life, the straight world and cultural homogenisatn – has been nsirably softened up.

Gee remembers the phone rgg on that fateful day, when Jim's told him about the fatal accint, and how Gee was not wele to attend the funeral, bee of the fay's homophobia (mon for the perd and later).
