“I was born under unusual circumstances . . .” Thus begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the Academy Award–winning film starring Brad Pitt as a man who is born in his eighties and ages backward, and Cate Blanchett as the woman he is destined to love forever. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a monumental journey—as unusual as it is epic—that follows Benjamin’s remarkable adventure of romance and redemption from the end of World War I through the twenty-first century. Directed by David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a powerful testament to life and death, love and loss.

Release Notes on Restoration

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
With the exception of certain sequences that were shot on 35mm film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was created in the digital realm, without ever being output to a film element and transferred. Shot on the Viper FilmStream and Sony F23 digital cameras and color corrected by Jan Yarbrough on FilmLight’s Baselight system, this high-definition master was converted directly from the Digital Intermeidiate color space to SMPTE Rec. 709 24fps 1080p. The original theatrical multichannel sound mix was optimized by sound engineer Ren Klyee for home-video listening.
