The curious case of Benjamin Button

Blu-ray 2009

Benjamin Button was a not-so-ordinary man who began his life under unusual circumstances. Born in his eighties, and unable to stop time, he continued to age backwards. His life story is detailed from the end of World War I in 1918 and into the 21st century, when he discovered a love that lasted beyond time. Includes commentary, trailers, photo gallery, and a four-part documentary.
