"I was born under unusual circumstances."
And so begins THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his 80s and ages backward: A man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. From New Orleans at the end of World War I in 1918 into the 21st century, on a journey as unusual as any man's life can be, the film tells the grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds and loses, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
A Q&A with screenwriter Eric Roth (FORREST GUMP) will immediately follow the screening.
