Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

Movie review

it’s the story of Jean-Baptiste who commits a series of brutal murders to achieve his cherished dream of creating the perfume of love. The filmmaker had the difficult task of telling the story of the hero’s inner world, whose main characteristic is his unique sense of smell. The film begins with a scene in a stinky Parisian fish market. After an hour of watching the picture begins to “fragrance”.
