About this product

Product Information

Author Patrick Suskind enjoys a career shrouded in Salinger-esque mystery. Suskind's best-selling novel PERFUME was coveted by Hollywood for many years, and finally makes it to the screen in this production helmed by Tom Tykwer (RUN LOLA RUN). The film stays remarkably faithful to the author's vision, perfectly summoning up the brooding ominousness of small-town life in 18th-century France, and getting the casting of its central character, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw), exactly right. Grenouille is an orphan whose sense of smell is extraordinarily acute. He impresses master perfumer Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) enough to work for him, and this sets Grenouille off on an epic quest to find the perfect scent. When he discovers that killing young women and bottling their essence is the only way he can achieve his dream, Grenouille is soon a wanted man with multiple murders to his name. However, when it comes to making one last kill--namely the attractive redhead Laura (Rachel Hurd-Wood)--the young perfumer may have met his match in her overprotective father, Richis (Alan Rickman).Tykwer's film is an impressive achievement, not least because the subject of scent and the cinematic medium were always going to make uneasy bedfellows. Couple that with the weight of expectation caused by the millions of readers who have delighted in Suskind's words, and it needed a brave director to take on such a project. Whishaw is a revelation in his first major screen appearance, and Tykwer made a wise choice in bringing in some older heads (Rickman, Hoffman) to support the younger actor. Visually, the film is stunning, and cinematographer Frank Griebe clearly worked hard to bring Suskind and Tykwer's visions to life. But ultimately this is an ensemble piece, with cast and crew all pulling together to create a film that simmers with a hushed menace throughout.

    Seller accidentally cut/paste the entire description for this movie, saying that it had a digital code w/ it when it did not. However, when I asked them about it after receiving my order, they promptly responded & were very apologetic, refunded my $ including the shipping & let me keep the movie. Would totally buy from them again. And I didn't know what to think about this movie the first time I saw it. But kept thinking about it. Rewatched it later & slowly fell in love w/ it. A++ all around.

    OMG

    This movie will certainly make you think. Hannibal Lector type main character- only this one is not locked up. He is on the loose in France. Many murdered young women. I'm not into horror so I'm not a good judge of the film. The storyline overwhelmed my opinion of the film. I probably won't hang the CD up to reflect sunlight and keep the birds off of the back porch. It needs to go in the trash. Creepy

    Package came quick, I’d been looking for this movie on dvd for a while and was excited to have found it for less than $45 so definitely reasonable pricing. Great purchase.
