Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood and set around 1962, this is a tour de force for lead actor Colin Firth and was shot in just 21 days. It gained him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor and a 2010 BAFTA win for his performance of a gay professor distraught over his lost love. Mr Darcy doing a skinny dip in Santa Monica doubtless provides some satisfaction and eye-candy for the ladies? Great scene with Colin dancing with Julianne Moore to Booker T's Green Onions. Unusual line about asking an old lesbian whether she was 'hung like a doughnut'. Good performance also from Nicholas Hoult (the young lad in About a Boy with Hugh Grant and in BBC's Skins). First-time direction from fashion designer (Gucci creative director and his own Tom Ford label) Tom Ford.
IMDB 7.7/10
