I’m going to say up front that this one is for movie lovers only. The directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford, this intricate portrait details the inner turmoil of a man grieving the death of his lover. His world is shrunken and meaningless and his only companion is a female friend who still thinks she can win his affection.We see flashbacks of lighter days, which almost counter the sense of impending doom, but always in the background is the image of a loaded gun next to his bedside. What makes this piece so incredibly moving is an unforgettable performance by Colin Firth. Often typecast as a period performer or romcom standard, Firth shines in this unusual role. Poignant and deeply memorable.
Rating: 5 outta 5.
