The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

摘要

Wistful, melancholic, steeped in a sense of impermanence and looming mortality, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is not a movie one could have predicted from the maker of "Se7en," "Fight Club" and "Zodiac." David Fincher's haunting and uneven picaresque fable is a radical reimagining of a fanciful, minor F. Scott Fitzgerald short story. It tells the tall tale of an infant who is born as an old man-tiny but suffering all the infirmities of an 80-year-old-who lives his life in reverse, becoming younger with each passing year until he achieves real infancy at the end of his life.
