L'étrange histoire de Benjamin Button
Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) springs into being as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home and ages in reverse. Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flickers in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer (Cate Blanchett). Though he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.

In last year's thriller "Zodiac," David Fincher pulled back the curtain on what is possible when a front-rank director applies the right technology in the right way. In telling the story of the frustrating hunt for the Zodiac serial killer, Fincher and his collaborators shot on high-definition video and then created a subtle wealth of digital post-production detail to deliver a period-perfect 1970s San Francisco. The technique didn't scream out, " Amazing, no?" Fincher used the hardware for good, not evil.
