Curiouser and Curiouser

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button intrigues me. Firstly, it's directed by David Fincher (of Se7en and Fight Club fame), the screenplay is written by Eric Roth (think Forrest Gump, The Insider and Munich - to name but a few) and it stars Brad Pitt and (our) Cate Blanchett! The production design and cinematography looks stunning, soft lensed, warm and nostalgic. And though I do worry about the depth of Pitt's acting ability (may we never Meet Joe Black again), I thought he and Cate were amazing together in Babel, and look forward to similar affective performances here.

Australian release date is set for Boxing Day, so we all have til then to read F. Scott Fitzgerald's book.
