Avis sur le produitPerfume: The Story of a Murderer (DVD, 2007, Widescreen)

Repulsive and hypnotic at the same time

I love Twyker's work and the talent in this film (Dustin Hoffman, Alan Rickman) was a definite draw for me. But it's Ben Whishaw, a youthful unknown playing the lead character, who really stands out. He's utterly repellant and mesmerizing at the same time. This is not an easy film to like- how can you sympathize with a serial killer? But the film is so artistically done that one can almost excuse the cold-blooded nature of his crimes. Props to Tom Twyker for skillfully translating *the sense of smell* to a film and the sets & costumes are amazing. The ending will leave you speechless.. especially the scene that must have set a new world's record for the largest gathering of naked people ever filmed.Lire l'avis complet...

I first read the book by Patrick Suskind back in college and I must say that this must be the most unique story that I have ever read. The movie itself is good and the lead actor Ben Whishaw as Jean Baptiste Grenouille played the character very well about an obsessed man who wants to capture the scent of virgins to create the best perfume in the world so that he be will loved and admired by everyone because he himself has no scent of his own. Dustin Hoffman does a very good job of playing the master perfumer to teach Grenouille how to create the best perfumes in Paris. Excellent casts as well and the location is amazing. Tom Tykwer did a great job in directing this movie since Run Lola Run.Lire l'avis complet...

OMG

This movie will certainly make you think. Hannibal Lector type main character- only this one is not locked up. He is on the loose in France. Many murdered young women. I'm not into horror so I'm not a good judge of the film. The storyline overwhelmed my opinion of the film. I probably won't hang the
CD up to reflect sunlight and keep the birds off of the back porch. It needs to go in the trash. CreepyLire l'avis complet...

Sinfully Creepy Flix

I bought this movie based on the reviews. This is a story about a man who was born weird from the start. From birth, he has the gift of smell which creeps most people out even when he is a baby born under the counter in an open air outside market. It is eerie, seductive, beautiful & weird throughout the entire movie. This is a different type of murderer in that whom, why & what for he hunts his victims & kills them for their essence to make the perfect perfume. Not recommended for children ever. You will either love it or hate it. For adults only! Depending on one's tastes & preferences, I would rate it a C+. It would all be based on what you like or dislike in a movie.Lire l'avis complet...

It's fits

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer with poor commutations skills.
Outside of that, it was beautiful film, every scene well done; the acting wasn't bad and minor plot holes. It does keep you guessing who will be killed next. Outside of the fact the main charter is very odd and seems to have bad luck follow him around, or at least anyone who has owned him. I must admit the movie kept a good pace so I wasn’t so bored. But this is pace is a summer walk, not running head long in action bear you mind. Over all I would said if you can watch it, if you like period films or hard to follow killing. If not try something else.Lire l'avis complet...

If only movies had scent-D( well, maybe not...)

This was one of the most original films I have ever seen, it kept my attention on every single moment. NOt one moment was wasted, even without all the Hollywood tricks ; soundtrack, fancy photography, double meanings, and especially not message! I feel much like those crowds in the final scenes; I understand no conscious thought, but the unknown scent of the experiance will linger through my life.
The acting was good I suppose, more so when reflecting on the (pun again) scents/differing chords of the different characters.
Not for the prude or the good little consumer, but if you enjoy the quiet, out of the way original, unassuming little piece of amazingly well done, then this is for you!Lire l'avis complet...

Modern masterpiece

This is an excellent movie because it offers so much - an engrossing story deftly told, wonderful acting, suspense, romance, heartbreak, breathtaking cinematography and an ending that while undoubtedly odd, is nonetheless quite memorable.

Perfume is one of those rare films that is enjoyable the first time it's watched and only gets better with successive viewings. It is full of subtleties and nuances that may be overlooked many times; every time I watch the movie I notice another detail. It's also an unsettling film because the audience comes to sympathize with the main character's situation yet is still repelled by his behavior. Most of all, it is a sensual film, in that much like the title, it uses all the senses to evoke a disarmingly believable story in a way that is both fairy tale-fanciful and gloriously gritty.

This one is definitely worth buying...one of the better films in the last quarter century, it will surely become a classic.Lire l'avis complet...
