Life isn't measured in minutes, but in moments

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is a peculiar tale of a man born at the end of his life and has the rare opportunity of growing young, living his life in reverse as it were. F. Scott Fitzgerald states at the beginning of this story that it was inspired by a statement made by Mark Twain, that the best things in life happen at the beginning and the worst at the end. With `The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' Fitzgerald plays the cynic, exploring how living life in reverse can be seemingly beneficial yet ultimately devastating.

The movie hit the big screen on December 25th, 2008 - You can buy the DVD or Blu Ray on May 5th, 2009.
