Age Is an Illusion

In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Brad Pitt plays an old man who physically ages backward.

At age 50, Benjamin Button falls in love with a 30-year-old woman – and then must come to terms with their budding relationship as the two literally grow in opposite directions.

The film was directed by David Fincher and co-stars two former Pitt co-stars, Cate Blanchett (Babel) and Tilda Swinton (next month’s Burn After Reading). It will open on Christmas Day.
