“Benjamin Button” is a movie that will stand the test of time. It is truly a new “Citizen Kane.” It has redefined filmmaking for a whole new generation and got completely snubbed at the 2009 Oscars. The fact that this movie did not even win half of its 13 nominations is an enormous insult to David Fincher and his vision. (The academy already snubbed him for his 2007 masterpiece, “Zodiac.”) As a film educator, I can promise all of you (to the delight of cinephiles around the world) that this movie will be the new standard by which movies of the digital age will be compared to. Mark my words!
I have been trying to find this movie on video for years and have had no luck. It certainly deserves the full Criterion treatment and then we will have another reason to praise the The Criterion Collection.
