- Colin Firth won the best actor award at Venice for his portrayal of George, a gay college professor who is coping with the death of his partner.
- It is directed by Tom Ford, a noted fashion designer credited with turning around Gucci in the '90s as Creative Director. Ford's involvement, and the supposed mastery of his direction, has been a much-discussed storyline in and of itself, pushing the coverage into the fashion world.
- Significant Oscar buzz for Firth's performance, and it was the first seven-figure purchase coming out of the Toronto Film Festival.
- Originally set for a limited release, the Weinsteins have moved it to a nationwide release. It will open in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago on December 11th, followed by a wider expansion nationwide close to Christmas.
- We've sold 700 copies in the last month and a half since the Weinstein's announcement.
- Picked by the American Film Institute to close its annual film festival in Los Angeles in early November.
