Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

driviere-35873 Never read the book, never heard of the movie, then bam!! Here it is.. From the first minute of the movie, I was stuck! Instantly, the story gripped me.. I had no idea where it was going to go and it was a roller coaster ride of the closest we could get to smelling with our eyes.The imagery was beautiful and the environments were masterfully done! I've now watched this movie maybe 10 times and its interesting each and every time! Its not on my list of all time favorite movies to watch!

Amy Vo As much I love the book, I also love this movie. Though it can't transfer 100% from the book but I have to say it's good enough. It has the soul of the book for 90% and their actings are incredible. Totally recommend movie which you want to watch to remember and think, just not watch and forget. 10/10 for me.

asifpsyc Previously I have read this book. I have also watched the movie yesterday and approximately this is the 25th times watching for me. And I must have to say, every-time I liked it. It was like as the book. At-least they tried to make it happens.One thing, it is very tough to visualize smells and in the movie, it was very realistic to watch. But for me, it was expressed pretty well. Even you can not smell the things, you can imagine how they smell which may be due to the cinematic work, which was amazing. The actors also did a really good part and obviously very lively, which was important. Everything, everyone who acts here, are very much lively.So, all in all I have to say, I think that it is a really interesting movie. And for me, this is one of the best "Can be repeatedly watchable" movie. Thanks Perfume.

jacklyn_lo The most unique part in this story is an extraordinary quality of the protagonist, Jean- Baptiste Grenouille, who sees the world around him (= materialistic reality) through scents. THE WHOLE FILM IS ABOUT HIS REALITY ANYWAY. Having a superior olfactory sense, he is able to distinguish the finest aromas in the world. The "no return" turning point of the movie happens when Jean-Baptiste Grenouille attracted by a fine smell, follows a young girl and inadvertently kills her. The beauty of the smell slowly but steadily disappears from the dead body and the young man is left alone. Jean-Baptiste begins to search for a panacea to save the smell for a long time and found a perfume maker who started teaching the young man the process of the obtaining "the soul of flowers". Following his paranoia to find the ultimate scent (= the soul of beauty), Jean-Baptiste becomes a ruthless serial killer of young girls, but finally made the perfume of his desire. An important lesson learned from the movie – people make their decisions based on their own values.
