Some films are made to entertain, some films to loath and then there are film like this which are meant to satiate all your senses such that the final feeling is akin to a bliss..
Perfume:Story of a Murderer is not simply a film, its poetry on celluloid and a very strange one at that. How difficult it is to portray a psychopathy through poetry without actual lines being intermingled..I saw that in Sweeney Todd but the situation is entirely different..The setting is medieval France with biography of an extraordinarily and weirdly talented man who has some mysterious power, power of eternal olfaction...The story of how he starts of a queer individual to be a man who has a certain goal to desperately fulfilled is presented in a most perplexing, incomprehensible, puzzling, enigmatic, unexpected, remarkable way..The movie is a visual bliss, auditory beauty and only thing you would crave till the very end would be to actually smell the perfume that the protagonist invents..Such is its impact..Watch out for the climax and the end was more fitting than what I could have ever imagined..Ben Wishaw playing the lead was sadly ignored for the Academy Awards which goes to prove that we have respecting some morons who call them jury of world's most prestigious cinematic awards..
I was wanting to read the novel for some while but after watching the movie I am even more drawn..
Words don't suffice actually and I don't have a perfume to feel you the bliss..
