‘A Single Man’ poster

—

Talk about a missed opportunity. The film boasts one of the year’s most unique visual sensibilities and the best they can do is slap Tom Ford’s trademark lettering over an already-ubiquitous still? And call me cynical, but are they trying to hide the fact that it’s about a gay ...

Tom Ford’s ‘A Single Man’ Gets A Beautiful Trailer

— filmschoolrejects.com — Tom Ford is a stylish man who’s been around a lot more naked women than I have.... I’d cry foul, but he’s also been around a lot more naked men so instead I’ll just call it even. He’s been near the top of the fashion world for years, but now he looks to be ...

More To It
Hollywood Elsewhere — More To It In a brief 11.5 riff about the Weinstein Co.'s poster for Tom Ford 's A Single Man , In Contention 's Guy Lodge wrote, "Call me cynical, but are they trying to hide the fact that it's about a gay man?"

The Weinsteins’ first official trailer for Tom Ford’s startling debut replays the lush, wordless montage of the original, with a couple of Oscar-chasing quotes inserted for effect.

One could call the ...
