Trailer for A Single Man

I don’t often post trailers (or, ever — although I did post about IFC’s top 50 trailers) but after watching this I had to share. Trailers are like an art form, a mini two minute movie; to me, this is a nearly perfect trailer. There is no cheesy voice-over, no explanation as to who the characters are, or their relation to one another, and it doesn’t make it obvious how it will end. I hate watching a trailer and then realizing I don’t need to bother with the movie.

The images in this movie speak loud and clear, and the music, with the ticking clock, gives the whole thing a sense of foreboding.

My only issue is that because the images speak loud and clear, they seem to reveal too much. I still can’t wait to see this film, though.
