Colin Firth's strength is his ordinariness and he uses it here to great effect in fashion designer Tom Ford's assured directorial debut. Presenting a façade of dull and unemotional respectability as the eponymous single man, an English academic living in Los Angeles, he's struggling to come to terms with the death of his gay partner (Matthew Goode) at a time (the early 1960s) when attitudes were very different from what they are today.

Sunday 10 October. Dirty Oil (2010) cert U, 73 mins, 7.30pm, Memorial Hall, Charlbury
A terrifying exposé of the largest industrial project on the planet today. It takes us into the strip-mined world of Alberta, Canada, where the vast and toxic tar sands deposit supplies the U.S. with the majority of its oil. The filmmakers journey to both sides of the border to see the irreversible human and environmental toll that this black gold rush, fuelled by America's addiction to oil, is taking on our planet. We are taken to the formerly beautiful Athabasca River which has been turned into a toxic sewer by companies digging out oil from tar sands. We find out the story from scientists, oil industry officials, politicians, doctors, environmentalists, and the aboriginal citizens who are directly impacted by the catastrophe.
Wednesday 13 October"Peruvian Textiles" is the title of the next lecture to be held by the Cotswold Decorative and Fine Arts Society.  The lecturer is Chloë Sayer.   Peruvian textiles are among the most splendid and enduring of world traditions.  This lecture will look at the textile achievements of Peru’s many civilisations, past and present.  
Ms. Sayer is a freelance specialist in the art and culture of Latin America.  She has published three books and has been the curator for exhibitions.  She has also lectured in several countries around the world and has worked on television documentaries for Channel 4 and the BBC. Lectures begin at 2.00 pm.  Non-members are very welcome to attend (suggested donation £6).  Tea and coffee are provided from 1.15.  Lectures are held at the Bradwell Village Hall, two miles south of Burford on the A361 Lechlade Road.
