Perfume: The Story of a Murderer


Although this movie is still in theaters, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a good candidate for the final project. It will probably come out on DVD too late to use it for the final, but it is still a good film to watch, especially on the big screen.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was born with the most phenomenal sense of smell. He was born in the wrong time though, because 18th century France had a putrid smell to it. Jean-Baptiste nose leads him to become one of the greatest perfumers in France, but that is not enough for his greedy nose. He takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve "beautiful" scents, and create the ultimate perfume.

Perfume seemed to have somewhat a comical idea (super-nose powers), but the movie is so much more. Go to the theaters and watch this movie!
