The Perfume

The perfume

The Perfume is a very disturbing movie that is for adults only. It isn’t a terror film but it has some quite disturbing and grotesque or macabre scenes.

The Perfume is about a young man who grew up in Paris in the 1800s. He was sold as an orphan then as a teenager to work in a tannery. He was a strange boy, he had verbal communcation skills,but he had a dog-like sense of smell. He accidentally killed a girl that he followed because he liked how she smelled. He suffocated her when she tried to scream to alert others.

He managed to get ‘bought’ by a perfumer because his sense of smell was so good. He inquired how to preserve the scent or essense of someone. He experimented on a cat and later pretty young women.

This movie has exposed body parts except for male-frontal exposure. There are other scenes that I’d rather not describe. Did I mention that this is NOT for children nor teenagers?

The story in general isn’t bad. In fact I found it interesting in a film noir way. The acting is very good too. The setting and costumes are also quite nice.

If you are over 18 and mentally stable go ahead and watch this movie and then clear your head with a G (general) rated movie like Bambie.

I give it 3/5 for mentally stable adults only
