Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born in the stench of eighteenth century Paris, develops a superior olfactory sense, which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes. His work, however, takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve scents in the search for the ultimate perfume.

I say, this is definitely worth watching.
Ben Whishaw stars as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. Fairly new actor, but he managed to portray a sensitive and observant Grenouille. He does not speak much in the film, only in certain moments where it is necessary, but the rest of the film is told by his actions.

But even for those who do not like the acting or the extremely interesting storyline, watch it for the cinematography. The pictures make you want to smell the tiniest bit of what makes Grenouille's world go round.



I guess for me, it was good. Makes you think (whether you want to or not) of all the possible meanings and the movie stays in your mind long after it finishes.



Recommendation: 8/10

PS: Chien Aun finds it eerie and disturbing. It isn't that gross either, in my opinion. Many may beg to differ...
