The 2008 film directed by David Fincher is widely available on major streaming and rental services:
Benjamin's life is marked by a series of surreal and often poignant experiences. He falls in love with Daisy, now a beautiful young woman (played by Elle Fanning as a child and Cate Blanchett as an adult), but their relationship is complicated by his unusual condition. As Benjamin grows younger and more handsome, he becomes a wealthy and celebrated figure, but he also struggles with the emotional and psychological implications of his reverse aging.

As the film plays—perhaps buffering, perhaps pixelated, stripped of the cinematic grandeur of the theater—we see Benjamin writing postcards to his daughter. "You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went," he writes. "You can swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go."
