DIRECTOR APPROVED SPECIAL EDITIONS

“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.

Great film I just wish that it was packaged like the other Criterions :/

I love the slipcover. But I do agree- I wish Criterion repackaged it after it's first printing.

When I got my copy, I got it at a Farmer's Market for $6 in like new condition with a slip. I then managed to find a slipcover with the signed sticker.

Would love to add the original borderless black slip to my collection. Managed to sang a 100 years in movies anniversary edition for now...
