COMMENTS

Perfume is adapted from a book, but believe that the film is more thrilling than the book. The viewers fell the fear in every murder scene while the gifted child smeels the corpses and believes that he just find the scent he is seaching for.

Think that you have a gift that controls all your life. It is not possible to stop it and you dicover something new in each step. Would not it be enjoyable?

You are gifted, but you are a murderer. This film captures this theme very well and makes the audience go mad in every murder. One may choose the support him while the other may not.
