Episode 48: A Single Man (2009)

In A Single Man, Colin Firth plays a professor grieving the loss of his lover. Julianne Moore and Nicholas Hoult play admirers who offer him a way forward. My guests and I debate the controversial changes filmmaker Tom Ford made to Christopher Isherwood’s 1964 novel. This episode merits a trigger warning for discussions of self-harm.
