"Perfume" directed by Tom Tykwer [review]

Abstract

Perfume, based upon the renowned novel by Patrick Suskind, is two wondrous things at once: it is one of the most exquisitely well-made films of the last decade, and one of the most unusual and haunting stories I can recall becoming engrossed in. While it’s certainly not for all tastes, Tom Tykwer’s film is nonetheless a breathtaking piece of cinema.
