Jean-Baptiste Grenouille nasceu com o dom de sentir cheiros como nenhuma outra pessoa no mundo. Seu olfato espetacular funcionava praticamente como um sensor, reconhecendo todo o mundo a sua volta. A fixação pelos cheiros do mundo fez com que Grenouille crescesse afastado das outras pessoas e dos valores sociais, mas em uma visita à cidade grande descobriu algo que mudou sua vida: as perfumarias. Ele desenvolverá, a partir daí, uma obsessão pela criação do perfume perfeito.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a 2006 German period psychological crime thriller film directed by Tom Tykwer and starring Ben Whishaw, Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood, and Dustin Hoffman. Tykwer, with Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil, also composed the music. The screenplay by Tykwer, Andrew Birkin, and Bernd Eichinger is based on Patrick Süskind's 1985 novel Perfume. Set in 18th century France, the film tells the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Whishaw), an olfactory genius, and his homicidal quest for the perfect scent.
Basically, I can say that this movie isn't for the emotional ones. It is a gently reminder that the perfection doesn't have to be shown or made in the real life. It should stay on a shelf and don't be touched by anyone.
If there is a movie that can scare me is this, it has it, unlike the "horror films" i never thought our main character was going that path.
He is not a monster, he is bat-sheet crazy.
