Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a 2006 German period psychological crime thriller film directed by Tom Tykwer and starring Ben Whishaw, Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood, and Dustin Hoffman. Tykwer, with Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil, also composed the music. The screenplay by Tykwer, Andrew Birkin, and Bernd Eichinger is based on Patrick Süskind’s 1985 novel Perfume. Set in 18th century France, the film tells the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Whishaw), an olfactory genius, and his homicidal quest for the perfect scent.

Basically, I can say that this movie isn’t for the emotional ones. It is a gently reminder that the perfection doesn’t have to be shown or made in the real life. It should stay on a shelf and don’t be touched by anyone.

If there is a movie that can scare me is this, it has it, unlike the “horror films” i never thought our main character was going that path.

He is not a monster, he is bat-sheet crazy.

Better than I expected
I’d only heard bad things about this movie in advance and I hadn’t been too impressed with the trailer – I thought the actor playing Grenouille was too pretty, giving his behavior an almost sensual feel, which it definitely shouldn’t have. However, when I had the chance to see a press showing of it, I knew I had to see it because Süskind’s book was one of the highlights of my school career. I was pleasantly surprised – the movie is well done, beautifully filmed (I especially enjoyed the period details that always felt very down-to-earth and alive), and the main character was never attractive and actually quite creepy (although in my mind, Grenouille will probably always more resemble a Gollum-like creature).

Putting scent into images, however, is even more difficult than putting them into words, in my opinion, and this is where the movie lacked. It just did not grip me the way the book had, did not pull me into this world of smells, and after 2 hours I started getting impatient for the story to finally move on and wrap up. All in all I think the movie could have been better, but it was definitely better than I’d feared and is well worth a look.

A world of its own
In this colourful and gripping film, you can literally “smell” the pictures. Sometimes they are captivating, sometimes awful, but they are always fascinating. A great, great movie about sensuality, desire, greed… and the quest for love. Wonderful cast (even Hoffman is excellent!), wonderful music (and the score is not “too” present, which is a good thing), wonderful direction. 2 and a half hours may seem a long time for some, but not for the real sensualists. The story and the film may have their flaws, but they also have outstanding qualities and in a perfect world Tom Tykwer should receive an award for his superb adaptation of the splendid book by Patrick Süsskind.

A must see. Or, should I say, a must “smell”!
