Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button springs into being as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home and ages in reverse. Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flits in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer. Though he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually sumptuous meditation on the tragedy of time's arrow, following two souls trying to meet in a world where one experiences life backward. It's a tender, bittersweet romance stretched across decades, asking whether the timing of our lives can ever align with the people we love.
