Product Description "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. 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. From Amazon.co.uk The Oscars
may have ultimately snubbed The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button,
outside of prizes for its extraordinary make-up, visual effects
and art direction, but there’s a terrific film here that’s set to
stand the test of time. Perhaps it’s one that deserved a few more
golden statues too. It’s a curious tale certainly. It follows the
title character, as he’s born old, and as he ages, his body gets
younger. As the film progresses, he crosses with Cate Blanchett’s
Daisy over the course of their respective lives, as their paths
continually emotionally intertwine. Based on the story by F Scott
Fitzgerald, the film version of The Curious Case Of Benjamin
Button owes much to its director, David Fincher. This feels every
inch a labour of love project, and a technically astounding one
at that, with every frame packed with detail. Furthermore, it’s
impossible to see the joins between the computer work and the
real life characters, and that means the focus can be fully on
the absorbing story. If you can forgive the slightly clumsy
wraparound to it, this is a wonderfully told tale, boasting some
terrific acting performances and sumptuous direction. It looks
glorious in high definition too, boasting one of the finest 1080p
transfers seen to date. It inevitably puts the special effects
work under scrutiny, but the film passes the test effortlessly.
The end result is a terrific piece of cinema, that looks and
sounds simply outstanding. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is
a Blu-ray very much worth owning, and is the kind of tale that’s
set to be enjoyed for generations to come. --Jon Foster
