Benjamin Button - film shot in New Orleans

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was shot in several parts of New Orleans - yet again a film using the peculiar atmosphere of NOLA.



My favorite Rue de La Course Cafe (Rue on Oak) is not shown in the Benjamin Button film of course, but I recognized its corner and the former bank building with a characteristic clock on Oak Street in New Orleans immediately - I think it was shown in several scenes of the Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchette film.

And how could one forget the streets with the live oak trees and shotgun houses?


It is always a good feeling to recognize a place you loved and frequented in a nice film presentation.
