's not a masterpiece, the last David Fincher film, it is a great story, sometimes a bit 'pathetic, a bit more' surface, but almost always effective. For a story like this (the subject is taken from short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , but the film departs from them almost completely), with many aspects of morbid and abnormal, Fincher seems to me the ideal director. In fact, his style, which is very recognizable, can be heard in this work, however it is totally different from the previous films by the director of Denver. It 's his taste for the dark, the inexorable, and especially the "deformed" to bring this work to other, as in the penultimate Zodiac , even in Benjamin Button you feel a deep melancholy, resulting in my opinion on two factors: the perception of their own destiny against by the players and the inability to avoid this fate. It 'sad, perhaps, the figure not only this movie but all the work of David Fincher.
Onesta and nothing more than the acting of Brad Pitt, Fincher's favorite actor (this is their third film together, after the cult Seven and Fight Club ), Cate Blanchett, as always, is flawless, and the His presence adds a lot of the film, then delighted to find Julia Ormond in a marginal role, but well kept (the Ormond is an actress in my opinion great, the potential is still largely untapped). Eric Roth, the great Hollywood writer, author of many fine films and especially on long duration ( The Insider, Ali , Munich, The Good Shepherd and others) is very good at his job at this, and was not at all easy, nice choice to associate the concept of "time reversed" the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans (a moment in American history when the world went upside down, in fact). Finally, praise to photography, Claudio Miranda.
