Fashion guru Tom Ford’s debut feature is a sumptuous mix of 'Mad Men' and 'Far From Heaven'. Set in wealthy 1960s California, the film focuses on George (Firth), a gay college professor who learns that his lover Jim (Goode, 'Brideshead Revisited') has died in a car wreck. Grief overwhelms him and suicide seems the best way out, until a mad night with his lovelorn friend Charley (Moore), and the unexpected attentions of an angora-sweater-clad young man (Nicholas Hoult, 'About A Boy') makes George think twice. Firth deservedly won the Best Actor prize at Venice, and Ford proves that he is a filmmaker of genuine distinction.
