The Curious Case of Benjamin Button



Film: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Director: David Fincher
Starring: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton
Premieres: 25 Dec 08 [US]

I was born under unusual circumstances. And so begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any mans life can be. Benjamin Button, is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

Wow. Never expected to ever see such a storyline unfold on a Hollywood screen, what more with big names and the brilliant David Fincher who brought us all time dark classics like Se7en, Fight Club and the more recent Zodiac. This is definitely one not to miss.
