I give this movie not just stars but the whole universe. Haha!
Set in a small-town life in 18th Century France, lived a boy named Grenouille, an orphan whose sense of smell is extraordinarily acute. So acute that he can smell up to a mile. Ironically, in one point of the film, he finds out that he doen't have a scent of his own. Weird eh?
Then one day, he went to town to run some errands and discovers the thing that will change his life: perfume. A master perfumer Baldini took refuge of him and taught him everything to master the craft.
Grenouille's greatest obsession is to find the perfect perfume. And when he discovers the most intoxicating scent--the natural scent of a beautiful girl--he learns that the only way preserve it requires murder.
And so the story unfolds with a series of gruesome killings. This masterpiece will leave your jaw dropped with either awe or disgust, perhaps even both at once.
You'll be left speechless, just silently mouthing the word 'wow'. If you happen to see this film in the near future or I suggest you do anytime soon, tell me what you think about it. I can't wait to watch this again.
