Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Blu Ray) (2discs)
|
| | | Winner of 3 Academy Awards, Including Best Visual Effects (2009).
"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, The Curious Case of 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.
"...Pitt and Blanchett are outstanding. Fincher's meticulous attention to detail is unerring, down to the light fixtures." Jenni Miller, Premiere
"Superbly made and winningly acted by Brad Pitt in his most impressive outing to date." Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter
"Brad Pitt's sensitive performance helps make Benjamin Button a timeless masterpiece." Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun
"A movie that must be experienced. A monumental achievement." Rex Reed, The New York Observer
"...Fincher gives the film a power and unity that make nearly three hours go by in a flash..." William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
