Single Man

In the span of a single day, George, a middle-aged English professor in 1960s Los Angeles, moves through grief, memory, and the rituals of everyday life after the sudden death of his partner. As he teaches his classes, interacts with neighbors, and shares drinks with a longtime friend, we glimpse the quiet ache of a man trying to stay whole in a world that doesn’t acknowledge his loss. Told with clarity, compassion, and emotional precision, this modern classic captures the loneliness of love unspoken and the fragile beauty of ordinary moments.
