Perfume is one of my fave movie. based on the best selling novel by Patrick Suskind "The story of a Murderer" is a story of a deadly obsession set in 18th-Century France. Not giving the plot away though because it is one of those that really deserves the joy of discovery (if you should decide on this adventure). Beautifully shot… both brutal and divinely spectacular (really, you can almost smell this movie) with a sweeping epic feel about it… plus a very definite European sensibility (think “The Tin Drum” crossed with “Amelie“). The quirk (appreciation for me) is that the film has a delicious amoral sense to it sprinkled with moments of sweetness and dark humor… which I suspect is one of the elements that garnered the more negative responses.
