Colin Firth found it difficult to 'shake this character off' once the film was finished. He explains the mental changes he had to go through to become a heartbroken lonely suicidal man in the unforgettable film by Tom Ford. His costars were Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, Nicholas Hoult. Tom Ford talks about his vision, why he chose Colin Firth, how he had been preparing this film over a long time, why this character needs so much elegance inside and outside, it is not about fashion. Colin Firth was nominated to the Oscars, received numerous other awards and the film remains a reference point.

'A Single Man' premier and press conference, Toronto International Film Festival, Sept. 2009.
