We knew Tom Ford was a talented guy after his brand-defining work with Gucci, YSL, and his own label, but the multifaceted designer is moving onto movies now and he appears to be no slouch in that category either. His directorial debut, A Single Man, is about a gay college professor in 1960s California, whose boyfriend dies in front of him and the inner madness that ensues.

The film hits theaters in limited released on December 11.
