After seeing this film, i was left stunned. I have never enjoyed a period piece quite as much as 'Perfume'. The main character Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Wishaw) is acted wonderfully, toying with your own morals as you sympathise with a merciless murderer.

The plot:

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born at a market stall in Eighteenth Century Paris to a mother who believes him to be dead at birth. Lying amoungst the rotten meat, mud, and rats he is bombarded with a myriad of smells. As he grows up he learns not to distiguish between good and bad smells, but to experience as many smells as possible. This soon changes when he first smells woman, and is entranced. Resulting in a mission to find a way of preserving any scent forever .

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

Good review but could do with some more info to gain higher ratings. Take a look at other reviews to get an idea of the level of info that is needed to gain higher ratings. ~ Em. x
