‘Benjamin Button’ - David Fincher’s triumph or folly?
By Behind The Scenes TV on Nov 26, 2008 in Commentary, Filmmaking, Hollywood
Having heard that I saw “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” the other night, people keep asking me: What’s it like? Can it possibly make its money back? (Estimates of the film’s budget begin at around $150 million.) Is it an Oscar movie?
The real insiders tend to ask a more knowing question: Is this the movie that proves that David Fincher actually has a commercial sensibility? Or is it a $150-million art film?
