As those of you who know me well will know allready i am a keen follower of the fashion magazine VOUGUE - on my 18th birthday to my joy i was given subscription untill my 21st birthday an extension of the subscription my parents started years ago and a copy of the magazine from my birthdate - november 1990. The cover star for that month being Uma Therman in her modleing to acting transition period, looking shockingly similar in complection and duey eyed apperance to that of what she is now.
Any way ...... to my delight one of my favorite fashion leaders Tom Ford decided to make the transition from fashion to film aswell with his Directorial debut being " a single man. "
The trailor gave great promise, being as swarve and sofistacated as the fashion Tom Ford creats.
His adverts being racy at times , ( perfume inbetween a famales legs leving not much to the imajination for example) Also hinted at the sexyness that the film would have. I went into the cinema exited to see something classic but shocking , beautiful but hard to watch and altimatly something very fashionable but timeless. ok, so not a big ask but as a fashion follower i have seen the man do no wrong in that aspect.
One magazine exclaims as its headline " tom ford . can he do no wrong. " ( grazia, feb 2010)
Peter Bradshaw of the Guardian encapsulates perfectly how i felt about the opening sequence,
" Tom Ford's A Single Man begins with urgent Hitchcockian strings and an underwater dream sequence showing a naked, toned body drifting and floating – appropriate for a movie about love and loss which all but drowns in its own gorgeousness. " ( feb 11th 2010 )
YES , on baited breath i watched to opening sequence, trying to take it all in my mind screaming 'thank god its good ' all the while. It was so refreshing to watch, something that was not afraid to leave you speachless and be beautiful and disturbing all along, Even though someone comented later that the camera work was " camera wank" i would not have filmed it any different.
this film is high up on my DVD must haves for the future and i cant wait to watch it again
peace
