Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button 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 flits in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer. 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.

I absolutely loved the look of Benjamin Button from the gorgeous opening scenes (a little J-P Jeunet inspired) through the wonderful realisation of the dark and resonating retirement home and the recreation of old New Orleans whorehouses, streets and bars and those atmospheric scenes in Murmansk.

Button does not follow a particular movie formula. It can be said that it's an entirely different type of film, one where you wonder what will happen next seeing as how the film progresses in an entirely different direction than any other film..
