The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Our lives are defined by opportunities; even the ones we miss." The Literate Cinephiles get into another heated debate over the Oscar-nominated Curious Case of Benjamin Button, based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

• Truly this film is a technical marvel and we didn't gush nearly enough about it. Here are some videos giving a taste of the amount of work that went into aging effects: Digital and Makeup
