Well directed

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2009)

The curious case of Benjamin Button is one of the most moving films I have ever seen. The interesting condition (Benjamin's age moving backwards) of the main character(Brad Pitt)constitutes an interesting love story between the two main characters. David Fincher's direction is great but I think the biggest praises goes to the cinematographer Claudio Miranda. Fincher and Miranda worked together in such cult movies like Seven and Fight Club and they again show their potential with the great work of art direction in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The movie,in my opinion,is the early favorite for the academy awards of best art direction and best cinematography. The performances of the two main characters(Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) are also great but Brad Pitt does not seem to be winning the academy award. In conclusion The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a touching, beautifully told picture with great images, the film is worth spending your three hours seeing it.
