Earlier in the day, Colin Firth, who recently won the Best Actor award at Venice for his performance in this film, held a press conference at the Toronto Film Festival and spoke about how he had no idea he had to play a lonely gay man in this movie.
Director Tom Ford, who was a fashion designer earlier, said at the press conference that he feels all films should have a message and his aim with A Single Man is not stylistic achievement, but making an impact with the story.
