Loosely based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man visits a single day -- presumed to be his last -- in the life of gay British expatriate George Falconer (Colin Firth). George teaches at a Los Angeles college and plans to commit suicide to end his pain over the death of his lover. Various people stand at the edges of George's life, including a young student whose interest in his professor extends beyond an academic one, and his British friend Charley (Julianne Moore), an alcoholic divorcee who fantasizes that George will marry her. Colin Firth won a BAFTA for his performance in this film, and was nominated for several other awards, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actor's Guild Award.

"A sorrowful beauty infuses every frame of this remarkable debut feature from fashion designer Tom Ford."—Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus tells the story of Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) and his extraordinary "Imaginarium," a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr. Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick (Tom Waits), in which he won immortality, on the condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr. Nick. His daughter, Valentina, is now rapidly approaching this milestone and Dr. Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr. Nick arrives to collect, but always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr. Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win. The film was nominated for two Oscars, for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design.

"The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is as unusual and idiosyncratic as its one-of-a-kind title. You'd expect no less from Terry Gilliam, and admirers of this singular filmmaker will be pleased to know that Imaginarium is one of his most original and accessible works."
—Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times
