Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

I was drawn to this film because of it's unusual subject matter and notorious director. This is the 5th film I've seen from director Tom Twyker, my favorites being Run Lola Run and Heaven. He has a style all his own, and regardless of what you think of his movies, they are always shot perfectly.

Perfume is a compelling story that held me in its grasp until the end. Everything revolves around smell, and you'll find yourself attempting to breath it in through your nostrils in addition to your eyes. Perfect casting, set design, lighting, and costumes. I always feel bad when so much has been put into a film that I know hardly anyone will see. Don't let yourself be one of them.

Rating: A-
