Review

 

He lived to find beauty. He killed to possess it.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born with no smell, develops a superior olfactory sense, which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes. His work, however, takes a dark turn as he searches for the ultimate scent.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars Ok but a bit boring

I was really looking forward to watching this film when i rented it out but i thought it was a slow film and i only really liked it for a bit half way through. And what was with the end bit really odd i thought. It was ok but definately wont buy. I was really disappointed with this film as because of the cast i thought it would be really good but really found it boring and far too long over 2 hours!!!!

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Freaky, but ...

Fascinating and wonderful. It really did not know what to expect from this film, but i thought for a fiver why not give it a go.
As soon as i started to watch it was glued to the screen. It is portrayed wonderfully and very tastefully by a wonderful, star studded cast. The actor who played the main character will most definaltey be in a few more big movies in the near future ... he did a fab job.
It is based on a true story i believe. The story line is pretty weird, but at the same time extremely intriguing. There are some pretty horrible bits in there as well, but they all have their place in the movie ... they are not just put in for the sake of showing a bit of gore.
Overall, i really enjoyed this movie expereicne, and it was very different and unusual which is always good. I will definatley watch it again, and the more you watch it, the more persepctives i think you will see it from.
My advice: buy it and give it a try.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars La perfum

Fascinating, enchanting, revolting, exuberating, all as though I cannot complete 'thirteen' elements of description, le perfum is quite a captivating experience of magnifying beauty itself...which demands to be inhaled by all who breathe!
There is nothing of a fragrance in the air...but a soul, a poet...and that form as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille the main protagonist and in some views also the antagonist. This film will certainly provoke your thinking of ugliness and beauty.
