This is taken from Suskind's novel and is quite a wayward tricky film. If you've read the book then I guess you know why that would be.
To start with its about a guy making perfumes and cinema doesn't do sensurround for noses!
Some of the film revels in its sensory experience in an almost Malick kind of way, especially I thought early on.
A few scenes seemed to merrily go right beyond the reasonable and even the pretentious and head straight for fruitcake territory. But that was also their strength I think in that it carried the story on and forced you to the required suspension of disbelief.
Which is certainly needed at the end where there is a scene which could be a late 60s Italian hippy dream sequence. Look I'm trying to describe it without spoiling it for any one, and its not easy.
The absolute end scene is perhaps the only way to finish this story which has clear overtones of christianity about it but is much more centred in the realm of the senses.
Its one to sit around and discuss afterwards but if you go with a significant other be prepared for a different kind of fun!
Follow Ups:
Lots of eye candy and a decent premise. But it just got weirdly stupid in the second half.
...is more reminiscent of Heinleinīs "Stranger in a strange land"..., which, when looked at twice yes, is kind of a remake of the Gospels from a Hippie/New Age point of view, touched by more than a few drops of libertarian sadism...The book was very good indeed. And it would need a real great scriptwriter, and a same height director to make a good film of it: maybe Gonzalez Iņarrirtu and his usual team could have done something...

Found the book really so good?
After the third being to my finding quite good, it goes on to platitude and boredom.
As for the film...Nul.
You did wrong, then.
Well your sin will be your penitence and in there, there is, of course, no redemption.
we had an incredibly delicious 1er Cru Remoissenet Gevrey-Chambertin with dinner two nights ago. Yes, you French are still the masters of the Pinot. Extraordinary!
('97)
At the moment I am concentring on Loire wine! There are VERY cheap and wonderful.( Chenin blanc )
After 5-10 years they start to be...A pleasure.Pinot noir is just the best red wine, for my taste.
But now, too expensive.What did you eat with?
with slivers of garlic under the skin, a small onion and parsley inside the cavity, and a slight rubbing on the surface with olive oil and tarragon.
I made three different vegetable accompaniments (I cook two days a week, vegetable dishes do well in storage for a few days) composed of different spices, of tomatoes, celery, garlic, onion, red and green peppers in various combinations.
Mashed potatoes.
Simple food, absolutely fresh ingredients.
Dessert was fruit salad, several cheeses, and Doisy Daenae, though too young still delicious (ended up drizzling it over the fruits).
Life is good.
Try this one.Take one Kilo of potatoes( the one you take for mashed p.)
Make very thin slices.
In a ceramic form a bit of butter all around.
First layer of potatoes slighly superposed until there is no gap.
Then salt and pepper and fresh garlic juice, then a few morels ( fresh or not )And so on...
Oven 200°
You cover it with a sheet of aluminium who has been greased with butter.ONE hour.
Then you take double cream and brown it under the grill until brown.
A Riesling.
mushrooms and potatoes (and garlic and cream, of course...).
There is nothing better than wild mushrooms. When I lived in Oregon, I'd go "mushrooming" regularly. Chanterelles? We'd get them by the kilo, the golden ones. Sorels were more difficult to find but when we did.... ooo la la.
I forgot ! For every layer salt and pepper!
We got also our ( most ) mushrooms in the forest in front of our door.
The Rheingau wein too.
Do not forget to buy 2005!!!!!!!!
du quoi?
Rhenigau wein, Pinot, ????
