Customer Reviews

If you loved the film, you'll love this book

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a film that melds the elements of a great script and special effects into a phenomenal project. Watching the film I was entranced by how the film makers seamlessly applied the cgi with real actors and places. If you loved the film you'll particularly love this beautiful coffee table book. It's packed with beautiful photos, actor and director commentary and a behind the scenes look at the special effects employed in the film. It's a great addition to the library of any fan of modern cinema.

lovely pictures

I loved the movie and wanted a way to re-live it before the movie comes out. Because it was based on a short story, this was very limited. The book is beautiful with great pictures and stories about production.

Pictures of Poetry on Film - and Genius.

Gorgeous pictures of an exquisite motion picture. Even seeing how they managed the incredible special effects doesn't take away from the power and beauty of the film. Just see the movie first, don't spoil it for yourself. The book will be a treasured momento of a stupendous film. By the way, it's a full-sized, gorgeous coffee table book, a great gift for a favorite film buff - or just someone who adored the movie. ENJOY!
