David Fincher’s tale of the ages: ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’
By Behind The Scenes TV on Dec 22, 2008 in Directors, New Movies
Reporting from New York — David Fincher’s new film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” opening Christmas Day, is in many respects an archetypal award-season movie: a decade-spanning tear-jerker filled with big stars and grand themes and sweeping emotions.
But for the 46-year-old Fincher — the virtuoso auteur behind many of the most indelible serial-killer movies of the last dozen years (1995’s “Se7en,” last year’s “Zodiac”), the fanboy favorite behind the head-banging ultraviolence of 1999’s “Fight Club” and the mind-game paranoia of 1997’s “The Game” and 2002’s “Panic Room” — it could reasonably be considered a departure.
