How on earth do you bring to life a story that's simple concept is a sense unavailable to the medium it's being portrayed on? Smellovision is one of those daft ideas that someone came up with around the same time someone thought it'd be easy to make 3D films, thankfully it never came into being. A film based so closed to the concept of smell was clearly going to be a hard task for director Tom Twyker. Yet Patrick Suskind had managed to write the book it's based on, and so wonderfully, so why not? That is perhaps the best thing about the film, the way that the imagery is meant to awaken the senses to the point of creating almost mimicking those smells in our mind. The story itself is remarkably grim albeit based on a great core set of events. The conceopt was well flseshed out although perhaps a little too much, the film was a little on the long side for my taste. A nice twist towards the end rewarded my patience however.
