A cocktail of style and substance, Tom Ford's a Single Man is one of my favourite films. Apparently Ford himself says that Everything you need to know about me is in this film..

Joan Crawford’s Mildred Pierce

Joan Crawford's raw emotion is so palpable in this 1940's classic that I found it hard to take my eyes off of her. After her cheating husband leaves her, Mildred Pierce played by Joan Crawford becomes an independent and successful entrepreneur in a man's world, an amazing feat during that time. Despite this she can't win the approval of her [...]
