Based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is born as an old man and lives his life in reverse - physically.
Set in New Orleans following World War I, it is chocked-full of sugary, sultry Louisiana moments. Mmmm...divine.
Cate Blanchett might be one of the most stunning women in film today. I was mesmerized every time she appeared on screen.
But, Tilda Swinton stole the movie (for me) in a 1940's black gown with fur stole - swilling vodka and savoring caviar. It gave me chills.
It was totally engrossing for nearly three hours. I laughed - I cried...and Mr. Pitt did not disappoint. I'm calling it now...Oscar nomination.
See the trailer here.

Thanks for the suggestion. I really can't stand Brad Pitt but I love 1940s period movies. So I might have to suffer through mr. pitt to enjoy it :)
Brad Pitt doesn't do it for me but I think the movie looks great!
Now, about the wedding video.
Yikes.
