Description

Tale of murder and intrigue explores the under-reported sense of smell in a tale from the blockbuster novel by Patrick Süsskind. Grenouille is a baby born into squalor. Uniquely, he is born with no scent of his own - causing his own mother and a string of surrogate mothers to shun him. The result of his not having a smell, however, is that he develops the strongest sense of smell imaginable. He becomes apprentice to a famed perfumer (Dustin Hoffman) who hones his craft and makes his fortune from the talented waif. Obsessed with wringing the essence out of anything with a smell, the idea soon occurs to Grenouille that a beautiful, fine smelling woman might make the perfect tea bag for a vat of wonderful perfume. Things take a dark turn for the smell-free youth, however and, in his quietly desperate, compulsive search for new odours, nothing can stand between him and the scents he wishes to acquire.

    • This is one of the best films I have ever seen!
Huge thumbs-up on this film. As an independent filmmaker there are few films I find worth five stars let alone leave me mystified and anxious to rev up the old camera and give it a go myself. This film is amazing! Thought-provoking for starters, and that's putting it lightly. The entire storyline is enrapturing, and what begins as a reality show ends up as a fairytale. You have to see it to understand why I was so mesmerized by it, as was my husband. We have watched it twice, and are getting ready to see it again--it is that riveting. The cinematography is astounding! Brilliant in so many ways. The script was exceptional, and the directing even better. I can't say enough good about this film. I'm amazed that I didn't hear more about it when distributed. Actually, I'm shocked. It has every attribute that a film needs to be a blockbuster award winning film. Hm, politics? Could be. Dustin Hoffman's role is short and sweet, but appropriate. His character was definitely engaging. Alan Rickman also performed credibly without damaging the delicacy of his character. The main actor was absolutely superb in every way, but it was a compilation of fine acting, directing, and cinematography that made this film stand out above all other serial killer films. Additionally they did a fabulous job of recreating the period pieces to make this film so true to life you actually feel as if you are living in the time. I will look for more of Mr. Tykwer's films in the future. If you're a serial killer addict, this is the film for you. Different and memorable. ... show more

    • HEAVEN 's SENT?
an ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT movie ~ Ben Wishaw as our hapless hero[?] reminds strongly of Tony Perkins and Tom Courtnay, but what a delightful and subtle performance! Inspiration dabs of Tony Perkins [as Norman 'u know who'with that killer smile] and Jerry Lewis [the gait!] [This boy is literally rail-thin - without being emaciated - defining Spartan life as luxurious when we discover his circumstances]. The look, texture, feel and humor of the film [although in English] is essentially French, and what a period of devine filth - one can only but imagine the stench of the big cities during summer, although Veni .... [another story] The girls have their special glow - especially the first accidental 'apricot' seller victim and the final fatal attraction. We're not quite sure why the Academy chose to overlook this exquisite film, but then again the subject matter might have left the members somewhat stunned? Whislaw has our votes as Best Actor, followed by Hoffman and Rickman as supporting. yet very pivotal characters. Wave upon wave of brilliant images flow over the audience, the editing, art direction, costumes, lighting - everything meshes and comes together. This concept is so picture perfect one would expect Valmont to walk into the perfumarie, as well as characters from all the recent period movies as well as Mozart or at least Salieri [snooping for ungents]. *Hoffman is delightful as the eccentric master perfumer living in his 'lively' little maison on the bridge - fairietailish in concept vs. Alan Rickman's chateau on Grasse [which brings new meaning to the hidden dangers of a maze .... or a contemporary mall .... during rush hour .... or a crowded birthday party ...] *[Wouldn't it be incredible to see him as Tartuffe on film? What a delicious sense of comedy this actor has]. ALAN RICKMAN is always brilliant in his creations, this is an intelligent and also tortured character. Rickman never disappoints - is always spot on with his unique choices. It's a very seductive movie ..... and quite imformative about the 'perfume industry' - worth more than just a sniff. ...by the way ...... another taste-treat would be the big screen version of "THE COOK" [no, not the other one about "The Cook, The Wife ...etc." - this was once filmed as "Something for Evebody" - was it? Didn't quite work..] ... show more

    • A Stunning Experience
"Perfume" is an absolutely stunning movie. It grabs the viewer from the first moment when a baby is apparently stillborn under the table of a fishmonger's stall amidst garbage and fish innards, in one of the slimiest parts of Paris. But the baby fights to live and live he does despite his desperate beginning and childhood. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is shunned by everyone: his social interactions are abnormal and he cannot relate emotionally with anyone, except to protect himself. However, he does possess an extraordinary skill: his sense of smell. He can smell things that other humans do not believe have any smell at all, e.g. glass, copper, stone etc. His goal in life becomes how to capture the essence of smells, particularly those of the human soul. This quest leads him to develop methods of preserving human essences, but in order to retrieve them, he has to kill the people whose essences he desires. They are all beautiful young women. The story starts as a "true" tale told in flashback and it seems totally believable, even though it is fiction. The filmmakers also generate an atmosphere that makes you think you smell what he is smelling too--an amazing feat. This is an exceptional film, not quite like anything else I have ever seen, except perhaps "Sweeny Todd". This is far superior and is spectacular on every level. The ending is grisly but so are the crimes he commits. This is a one-of-a-kind experience and highly recommended. ... show more

    • Uniquely upsetting
A very different movie. It is believable while over the top. A masterpiece of historical drama and fantasy. Not for the weak of mind.
