Inside the Lautner House Where “A Single Man” Was Filmed. Tom Ford’s award-winning 2009 film A Single Man featured Colin Firth as George, a gay man who is grieving the death of his partner Jim (Matthew Goode) in 1962. Every scene was so beautifully filmed that I was kind of mesmerized by it.

It certainly didn’t hurt that they shot a lot of it in a John Lautner-designed modernist house in California. It’s known as the Schaffer Residence, built by architect John Lautner in 1949 for the mother of one of his employees. It’s on the market right now in the Montrose area of Glendale for $1.495 million — take a look! Note: There are Amazon affiliate links in this post that may earn me commission. The House from “A Single Man” The movie was based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood (affiliate link). Colin Firth was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in this film. Ford says it’s a story about isolation, and the isolation we all feel. The house is fairly small with 2 bedrooms + 1.5 baths. The listing says: Hidden in a wooded valley at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains, the redwood, concrete and glass residence opens to the oak forest that influenced the form and orientation of the design. This world-class architectural treasure incorporates open-plan living, dining and den areas, two bedrooms, one & a half baths, laundry and attached two carport. You can find the DVD to watch the movie on Amazon (affiliate link): As well as the book it was based on: This was fashion designer Tom Ford’s first film (he wrote and directed it), and he brought his eye for style to every scene. The Art Direction was by the “Mad Men” production designer Dan Bishop and set decorator Amy Wells.

Are you hooked on houses? More to tour: Comments. I only recently saw this film on DVD. I guessed the ending about half way through. I was hoping for a happy ending and was starting to think it may happen but alas it did not happen. I think the ending fits the mood of the film. And I love Colin Firth (even as a gay man..lol). But not much of a fan of the house. Enjoyed the movie. Love Colin Firth in every film I have seen him in. The house is not my style but was a good backdrop for this movie. .-= The2Seasons´s last blog ..Preparing for Week-end Guests =-. Amanda @ Serenity Now says.

I hated the ending but it was fitting for the movie and just right. I cried and cried in this movie. Starting when he smells the dog…I lost it. I loved this movie so much that I went back and saw it again the next day. I have not bought it on DVD although I plan to do so….and I did not watch on Cable because I was just not up for a crying fest at my house. I knew I’d be hugging the dogs and crying. Still this movie was beyond gorgeous. I can’t wait for Tom Ford to do another although I know this story was very personal for him and a movie he wanted to make for a long time. I really do need to watch this again soon…the movie got criticized for being too beautiful and the scenes between George and his partner for being to idealized….but I think that is just how they were suppose to be. They were George’s memories of how they were together and he remembered everything as beyond perfect and beautiful. I’m so glad you featured this…..

Your Welcome! I haven’t seen the movie yet, but it sounds interesting. I’m not a big fan of the house. It doesn’t have much privacy with all of those windows. Especially in the bedroom. That’s why I couldn’t live there.

I’ve not seen the movie yet, but I look forward to it now having seen that beautiful house! .-= Liz@VioletPosy´s last blog ..The Dresser is here =-. We watched this a couple of months ago on DVD. It is a fantastic movie. I was not surprised that so much of the set design was done by the team that did Mad Men . You can really see the common aesthetic. Woops sorry – incorrectly closed that italics tag. Lesley @ TheDesignFile says. I have not seen the film (don’t I say that every week). But the house looks truly amazing. I love smaller but incredibly stylish homes like this. So cool. Thanks for sharing this. .-= Lesley @ TheDesignFile´s last blog ..Must-Have 16- Functional- stylish toy storage =-. We missed this one. I guess I need to watch it so I can see this house better. And of course, any chance to watch Colin Firth can only be a good thing. Amy Button says. I haven’t seen that movie but I love the house. I grew up in a town that had several buildings on a college campus that were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Houses like this always remind me of that and I have a bit of a weakness for them. And even though I usually love southern style homes with big porches, I could see myself living here. I’d have to paint though…don’t hate me ? .-= Amy Button´s last blog ..Locked Out =-. I loved the movie, and I love this house even more. It’s so beautiful and the lines are so gorgeous. Can you imagine over a million dollars for 2 bedrooms! Yikes. .-= Tiffany S.´s last blog ..Lift those spirits… =-. Bonnie Morscher says. Loved the movie, love the house and also loved the eye candy of a round sofa that was at his friend Charley’s (Julianna Moore) house in the film. Although it isn’t my style, I can appreciate it’s beauty. Love the fireplace and the way it looks when the lights are on at nights. I used to live in a town that had a lot of Alden B. Dow homes that looked like this. They were pretty impractical for Michigan however, the roof lines weren’t meant to handle such heavy snow loads. People that owned them always had to shovel their roofs. Looks like an interesting movie, but very sad. This house is beautiful, sleek and modern is not usually my cup of tea, but it is gorgeous in it’s own right. The openness and the glass windows and natural lighting make it really special. I haven’t seen this film (yet) but with Tom Ford at the helm I know it will be stylish. Colin Firth and Julianne Moore are both ridiculously talented, so I’m sure it’s a fantastic film. I’ll have to rent it. Her makeup looks gorgeous for the time period. P.S. Those counter tops DO look like Ping-Pong tables! .-= Bre´s last blog ..Golden Globes Hair and Makeup Winners =-. carrie leskowitz says. I just saw the movie Sat. night coincidentally. I kept commenting on how much I loved the house could see myself moving right in.

Chapter Summaries & Analyses. Summary and Study Guide. Overview. A Single Man: A Novel was written by Christopher Isherwood and published in 1964. Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986) was born in England and later moved to the United States. Because Isherwood was gay and moved to escape the stifling atmosphere of England, the novel can be said to loosely resemble, or at least be inspired by, his own life, much like his 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin . Isherwood’s novel chronicling the last day in the life of a gay man in Los Angeles is noteworthy for its honest and realistic depiction of such a person, especially considering the time period in which it was written and published. A Single Man was later adapted into a film of the same name by Tom Ford in 2009. This guide utilizes the 2010 Vintage Books edition of the novel.

Set in Los Angeles, California, in 1964, A Single Man chronicles the last day in the life of a gay college professor named George. The story is written in both the third person and through George’s perspective, providing a unique view of George, his thoughts, and the events of his day. George wakes dissociated and refers to himself as “it” until he is dressed and appears socially acceptable. He walks downstairs to the kitchen and is immediately hit with the realization that his partner and the love of his life, Jim, is dead. Jim was killed in a car accident a few years prior, leaving George unable to cope or move on. The SuperSummary difference. 8x more resources than SparkNotes and CliffsNotes combined Study Guides you won’t find anywhere else 125 + fresh titles added every month. George observes the neighborhood he lives in, noting the shame and ignorance of his neighbors regarding his sexuality. Cynical, he constantly wrestles with his past, present, and future. George receives a call from his friend Charlotte, who invites him over—but he declines. He eventually musters the motivation to get in his car and drive to work at a community college, where he teaches one class. On the freeway, he feels free and in control. But by the time he arrives, he returns to his cynical self. George teaches his class and unintentionally engages himself in an extended rant about minorities, their treatment, and the motivations behind Hitler and the Nazis. He shocks his class and isolates himself further. One student, Kenny, takes an interest in George and follows him after class. George and Kenny flirt, and Kenny buys George a pencil sharpener. George’s day is brightened once more. He leaves the college and drives to the hospital to see Jim’s old lover, Doris. Doris and Jim spent a summer together when the former became curious about women, and while George continues to resent Doris for this, he visits her because Jim is a part of her. However, he realizes she is too sick, too far gone, and any part of Jim she had is no longer there. George begins to dread the thought of being alone at home, so he calls his friend Charlotte and goes over to her house. When he gets there, she is already partially drunk, and he begins drinking with her. The two get completely drunk and start reminiscing about the past. Charlotte is upset that her son no longer wishes to speak to her, and George cannot get over his partner’s death. When George finally gets up to leave, Charlotte kisses him romantically. He accepts her kiss without returning it and leaves. Rather than go home, he makes his way to the bar where he and Jim first met: The Starboard Side. At The Starboard Side, he sees Kenny sitting at the bar. Kenny admits that he went there specifically to look for George, and George begins to fantasize about all the things that could happen between them. The two talk and drink for a while before impulsively deciding to strip down and dive into the ocean. While swimming, George gets caught up in the moment, feeling free and clean. Because he is drunk, he cannot keep himself afloat, and Kenny ends up having to drag him out of the water. Kenny suggests that they go back to George’s place. There, Kenny plays coy while George engages in word play. Nothing results, George eventually passes out from exhaustion, and Kenny leaves. George wakes to find him gone and becomes depressed again. George decides to go to bed. Consumed by the past, he was never able to think about the present in a healthy way. He dreaded the future and his own death. As he lies in bed drifting off to sleep, he finally realizes he must live for the present, find love again, and make one last attempt at happiness. He falls asleep and dreams about the ocean, imagining people and rock pools and comparing consciousness to a tide’s ebb and flow. But soon after, George’s organs shut down, and he dies. He is never given that last attempt to find the happiness he finally decided to seek.

Plot: A gay college professor in 1960s Los Angeles struggles come to terms with the death of his lover. The film follows him on the day he intends to commit suicide. Let me be clear, A Single Man is not a movie for choc top eating or popcorn munching. Any noise emanating from the audience is a distraction. Not only because this film is very quiet (literally), but this film requires focus in order to fully appreciate the beauty and the detail. Director (and former fashion designer) Tom Ford has been criticised for overdesigning the film, but the highly stylised visuals works in its favour. Going into the film I did expect it to look good (what else can you expect from the man who single-handedly revived Gucci?), but what I did expect was for Ford to be a decent storyteller. Every frame has been carefully constructed to let you a little bit more into George’s world: to show what it’s like for a man struggling to get through the day as normally as possible. I felt as though I was watching film as art as opposed to film just telling a story. The film tends to lose a little bit of pace in the final act. The minimal dialogue wears a little thin and the film has a little bit of a struggle to keep itself moving all the way to the end. Thankfully we have Colin Firth in the leading role to distract us from the pacing problems. He gives a wonderfully un-Colin-Firth-like performance as George, the man at the centre of the story. Without Firth’s skill, without his ability to withhold and yet display so much, George would disappear, swallowed by the heightened visuals. But Firth holds his ground. You only need to watch Firth's face as he is told of his lover's death. The camera presses slowly in. You see his disbelief, his struggle to maintain control, his anger that he cannot attend the funeral. It’s truly a marvellous scene, for which Firth deserved the actual Oscar, not just the nomination. As for the supporting cast: Matthew Goode plays George’s lover Jim, seen through flashbacks, gives a performance that I actually for once, like. But I felt his character lacked definition. But then I suppose its George’s idea of Jim that’s important. George cannot live without him, whatever type of man he might be. Julianne Moore’s role as George’s perpetually drunk friend Charley, is a little more than an extended cameo. Nicholas Hoult is good, as college student Kenny, who takes an interest in George, but not quite up to par with Firth. I see a lot of potential in him, but maybe I was distracted by the amount of make up or fake tan that he was wearing. I’m pretty sure he had more make up on his face that the rest of the cast combined (females included). However, I did find the relationship between George and Kenny (Nicholas Hoult) to be a little disconcerting: mainly because of the whole teacher/ student thing. I also am uncomfortable with George replacing Jim with Kenny. People tell me that George want replacing Jim, he just found something to live for…. But I disagree. So much is made of the age difference between George and Jim and George and Kenny that the film seems to be drawing an intentional parallel between Jim and Kenny. Is there really that much difference between one you can’t live without and the one that you can live for? This is not for the 'I just want to be entertained' viewer. But, if you have the patience, then you will be rewarded.

A Single Man- Tom Ford's Personal and Beautiful Debut. Honestly, I think A Single Man was a film that was made with a philosophy behind it, that is exactly my kind of philosophy. A small contained character piece exploring ideas of grief and depression, demonstrated through a stylised and subtle way in a low-key small environment, timescale and approach. I don’t know if I necessarily enjoyed A Single Man, it’s a slow and upsetting study into the protagonist’s psyche after an accident where he lost his long-time partner. I definitely have a lot of appreciation for the film, it's clearly an off-beat debut film but it has a lot of craft and care put in it that pays off to an extremely upsetting and tough to watch film. I wouldn’t watch it again, it’s such a deeply sad film that says what it wants to say in an eloquent way and leaves the spectator to digest the film. Tom Ford has put a lot of effort into the style of his film, from the very opening shot we establish the tone and the style immediately as a beautiful score plays over surreal imagery of a body underwater. There is this almost obsessive attention to detail that runs through the film, you can feel Ford’s active direction of the film as it happens. Now, this is a bit of a double-edged sword as it does occasionally result in a loss of impact due to the film feeling very manipulated and by no means a realist approach to filmmaking. It’s a confliction I have with the film, it’s a beautiful film that feels like there’s someone pulling the strings behind it, you lose immersion because you never qu9ite believe the world. It works for its intended approach, it’s a fantastic study and a beautiful film but there are several moments I wish were simplified to let the emotion set in properly. For example, a fantastic symbolic post-production technique is the fantastic use of colour grading, the film has this grey and dark colour scheme that whenever George has a moment of happiness the shot becomes brighter and fills with colour. It’s not subtle but it is an essentially genius idea to demonstrate the value behind the moments. The narrative is very simple, it takes place over a small amount of time as George goes through several events after his boyfriend’s death. The plot has this underlying sadness in each scene, George has this intent to commit suicide that informs Firth’s performance through each and every scene, but Ford has clearly put effort into writing a character that doesn’t spend the film moping around, he explores the complexity of grief and depression. From meetings with an old friend with complicated histories to the pressures of responsibility. Firth is nothing short from incredible as the troubled protagonist, he manages to put across this complexity whilst making the audience feel so sympathetic towards him. He’s vulnerable as Firth plays with this idea of his formal exterior and the person beneath the upper-classman, which is a crazy difficult performance that is so perfectly done. The guest cast is really solid, with a surprisingly developed performance by Julianne Moore, she performs this façade of happiness to herself and Firth which makes her a brief but compelling character. Mathew Goode has a small performance in flashbacks as Firth’s boyfriend, the chemistry is strong between the two and there is a sense of understanding of George’s feelings through how well they work together in the flashbacks. The only character I don’t love is Nicholas Hoult, I just didn’t understand his character and he felt weird and misguided. This is a beautiful film, a gorgeously crafted and ambitious film. I can’t comprehend the amount of effort that went into creating the art behind the film. Ford is clearly a perfectionist, his work can feel so inaccessible as it is exploring personal problems rather than focusing on a social or political point. Ford set off to make a film that explored the impact of grief, and he did with such care and passion that the film becomes almost forgettable. It does its job through and through, it has an incredible emotional impact, but other than that he beauty only stretches that far. Its self-contained and gorgeous but I wasn’t thinking about it much after my first viewing, that’s not too say I would definitely recommend it, it’s an incredible beauty to behold that I think everyone could see and appreciate.

Well directed? Does it have
HOW TO BE SINGLE – Film Review. Reviewing How to Be Single presents me with a challenge. I could focus entirely on the quality of the movie as a movie. Is it well acted? Well directed? Does it have a good script? Does anything about the cinematography stand out? Editing? Set design? Or, to keep it simple: it’s a comedy, so is it funny? But we here at Zeke try to do more than evaluate the technical aspects of movies, as important as those are. We try to hear what films are saying, and think about the messages they’re sending. In the case of this movie I’m far more interested in the ideas than the technique. So let’s start, briefly, with whether How to Be Single is a well made movie. How to Be Single (based on the novel by Liz Truccillo) is less funny than I hoped, and aside from a handful of lines the script is flat. The best bits are pop culture references which work now but will not age well. The film is pretty to look at (it’s a flattering picture of New York City), but its editing is a near-fatal flaw. The timeline is confusing, and there are abrupt, unexplained jumps in the narrative. Director Christian Ditter seems at a loss to know what to include and what to leave out of the movie. As for the performers, they probably did the best they could with the material, but this will be a career low point for many of them. It may be, in fact, that the best performance of the movie was delivered by a baby who has an extended scene with Leslie Mann. That pre-verbal baby can really emote. Now let’s talk about what How to Be Single was saying… and that’s where reviewing this movie gets tricky. It is, allegedly, a female empowerment film – promoting both sisterhood and self-sufficiency. The soundtrack uses the song “Love Myself” by Hailee Steinfeld to drive the point home (although anyone who pays attention to those song lyrics will recognize that they’re describing a very limited, specific kind of self-love). So what’s wrong with all of that rah-rah, don’t need a man to be happy, sisters are doin’ it for themselves messaging? Just this: How to Be Single defines female empowerment as, first of all, the freedom to have lots and lots of sex with lots and lots of dudes – no harm, no foul, no feelings. I learned after reviewing 2015’s Trainwreck that questioning whether or not hookup culture is entirely healthy makes me subject to charges of being puritanical, repressed, not sex-positive. But here I go again: I do not actually think that having sex with more people necessarily equals a more positive sexuality. I don’t think a woman’s joy and freedom can be measured by the number of sexual partners that she’s had. I do not believe embracing a pattern of drunken sexual encounters with strangers or near-strangers is progress for women. And yes, admittedly, I say that as a middle aged, monogamous, married woman and a pastor, but I also say it as someone deeply committed to feminism. I am happy to shed the silence and shaming around sex that was a part of my young adulthood, but we have to say something better to our daughters than what this movie says. This image released by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. shows Alison Brie, left, and Anders Holm in a scene from, “How to Be Single.” (Jojo Whilden/Warner Bros. Entertainment via AP) Inc. There are, as I’ve already suggested, a lot of drunken sexual encounters with strangers in How to Be Single , along with a couple of sober encounters with other strangers or “friends with benefits”. The story revolves around four single women in New York. Alice (Dakota Johnson) is “taking a break” from her college boyfriend in a quest for personal growth. Her older sister, Meg (Mann), is an obstetrician who longs for a baby of her own but has no man in her life. In her new job at a law firm, Alice meets Robin (Rebel Wilson), a party girl who exults in her quest to conquer New York City one penis at a time. (That last sentence is a quick test. If you’re offended by it, trust me, you shouldn’t see How to Be Single .) Finally, there’s Lucy (Alison Brie) who is obsessed with finding a husband. I mean, really, really obsessed. And then there are a bunch of men. There’s Tom (Anders Holm), a cartoonishly promiscuous bar owner who sleeps with half the female characters but loses his heart to yet another one. There’s Josh (Nicolas Braun), Alice’s college boyfriend, who gets yanked around by her indecisiveness and still winds up looking like the bad guy. There’s Ken (Jake Lacy), a sweet young lunkhead who falls for Meg after a hookup. And then there’s David…and George…and Paul…and the guys that Robin sleeps with who don’t merit names. I am less amused than saddened by Robin being held up as the mentor for Alice’s sexual awakening. Robin admits to using drugs and drinks so heavily that more than one scene shows her waking up unsure of where she is and unable to remember whether she had sex the night before. Spoiler: she’s always had sex the night before. Robin is an ugly exaggeration of the character Rebel Wilson has played in the Pitch Perfect movies, and I sincerely hope Wilson has a long talk with her agent about her career before she is painted into this grotesque corner for good. One scene shows Robin rebuking a young man for fixing her breakfast after she’s slept over at his apartment.

A Single Man is a 2009 American drama film based on the 1964 novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. The directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford, the film stars Colin Firth, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of George Falconer, a depressed gay British university professor living in Southern California in 1962.

After it screened at the 34th Toronto International Film Festival, The Weinstein Company picked it up for distribution in the United States and Germany. An initial limited run in the United States commenced on December 11, 2009, to qualify it for the 82nd Academy Awards with a wider release in early 2010. On November 30, 1962, a month after the Cuban Missile Crisis, George Falconer is a middle-aged English college professor living in Los Angeles. George dreams that he encounters the body of his longtime partner, Jim, at the scene of the car accident that took Jim&#39,s life eight months earlier. He bends down to kiss his dead lover. After awakening, George delivers a voiceover discussing the pain and depression he has endured since Jim&#39,s death and his intention to commit suicide that evening. George receives a phone call from his dearest friend, Charley, who projects lightheartedness despite her also being miserable. George goes about his day putting his affairs in order and focusing on the beauty of isolated events, believing he is seeing things for the last time. At times, he recalls his sixteen-year-long relationship with Jim. During the school day, George comes into contact with a student, Kenny Potter, who shows interest in George and disregards conventional boundaries of student–professor discussion. George also forms an unexpected connection with a Spanish male prostitute, Carlos. That evening, George meets Charley for dinner. Though they initially reminisce and amuse themselves by dancing, Charley&#39,s desire for a deeper relationship with George and her failure to understand his relationship with Jim anger George. George goes to a bar and discovers that Kenny has followed him. They get a round of drinks, go skinny dipping, and then return to George&#39,s house and continue drinking. George passes out and wakes up in bed with Kenny asleep in another room. Cast Colin Firth as George Falconer Julianne Moore as Charlotte &quot,Charley&quot, Roberts Nicholas Hoult as Kenny Potter Matthew Goode as Jim Jon Kortajarena as Carlos Paulette Lamori as Alva Ryan Simpkins as Jennifer Strunk Jon Hamm has an uncredited voice cameo as Jim&#39,s cousin Harold Ackerly, who calls George to tell him of Jim&#39,s death and that the funeral is &quot,just for family.&quot, Production Fashion designer Tom Ford, as a first-time director, financed the film himself. The film places emphasis on the culture of the 1960s, the production design is by the same team that designed AMC television&#39,s Mad Men, which is set in the same era. Mad Men star Jon Hamm has an uncredited voice cameo as the cousin of George&#39,s partner, Jim. The actual house where the character George lives in the film was designed in 1948 by John Lautner, his first house after leaving Frank Lloyd Wright. The film was shot in 21 days, according to &quot,The Making of A Single Man&quot,, a featurette included on the DVD release of the film. An early theatrical poster for A Single Man featured a close-up shot of Colin Firth and Julianne Moore lying side by side, their arms and shoulders touching. This led to speculation that the work&#39,s gay content and themes were being deleted or diminished in its marketing materials to improve its chances of success with a wider audience. A new poster with Moore relocated to the background was issued. The film&#39,s original trailer placed more emphasis on the relationship between George and Jim but a re-cut trailer omitted a shot of George and Jim kissing while retaining a kiss between George and Charley. Speaking of the controversy, Moore said that director Tom Ford expressed concern that the original poster made the film appear to be a romantic comedy and that he ordered that the poster be changed. However Ford said, &quot,I don&#39,t think the movie&#39,s been de-gayed. The film was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 66th Venice International Film Festival and on the festival&#39,s third annual Queer Lion,Colin Firth was awarded the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the film festival for his performance in the film. He also received the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.Additionally, Firth received nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the Academy Awards.
