There is a kind of harrowing truth in the melody, a painful, unbearable, cathartic acceptance. Probably because A Single Man is an ode to realization, to understanding, and finally, to resignation, Stillness of the Mind is imbued with an overwhelming emotional heaviness. The strings sound very sharp at times, threatening in their fragility, feverish and distressed, and then lost in the folds of an eloquent and sweet waltz.

A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp. And the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realise that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

There is so much beauty in this film. Not one moment is wasted.
After reading the source material, I have to say that Tom Ford really sculpted a brilliant, much fuller, and engaging story from it. He is a marvel.The performances, (God, Julianne Moore can do anything!l), every shot / scene, the art direction, the editing - Everything is flawless! The soundtrack compliments the film perfectly and also stands up so well on its own. Thank you for sharing this.

Ever notice how the people who give the "thumbs down" never bother to comment or give reason. Perhaps this is because it is only in their nature to dislike everything they see or hear without regard to worth or merit. It is evident here.
