“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 man’s life can be. Directed by David Fincher and
starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson,
Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond,
“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.
