GHeart on Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

10/10 · Aug 2, 2018

This 2006 film, *Perfume: The Story of a Murderer*, from director Tom Tykwer, features Ben Whishaw, Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood, and Dustin Hoffman. The music was composed by Tykwer, Klimek, and Heil, and the script—written by Tykwer, Birkin, and Eichinger—is adapted from Patrick Süskind's 1985 novel. Taking place in 18th century France, it centers on Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Whishaw), a man with an extraordinary sense of smell, as he pursues his dangerous desire to create the ultimate fragrance. I’d say this film isn't really suited for people who are easily moved. It serves as a quiet suggestion that some things aren't meant to be experienced or brought into existence in our world; they should remain untouched and preserved.
