Another almost-obsolete format, DVDs – like CDs – are cheaper than ever in charity shops. One pound or 50p for two hours of entertainment represents amazing value for money. Here are my brief reviews of some of the films I saw...
A Single Man (2009)
Christopher Isherwood novel filmed with Colin Firth in the main part. A university professor in L.A. in 1962 mourns the death of his gay lover and plans his suicide. The film is set in one day, on which everything takes on heightened significance. Clever use of colour tones reflect his changing psychological state. Julianne Moore is absolutely terrific as a drunken friend who is in love with him. I wish she could have been in it more.
