Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

Some may bored with micicle and singing thing .  SO,let's change the mood to another thing which is not about dancing and singing.  Perfume:The Story of a Murderer is the movie that I will talk today.


This story is about Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a man who has a great talent of scent and his obsession.  The story begin in fish market, the stinkiest place France in 18th century where Jean-Baptiste Grenouille born.  It may because of this; he seems to have the best nose which can smell everything even the smell of glass and copper which is something that no one has ever smelled.  



However, although he loves to sniff in everything, the most he prefer is that the odor of woman.  He obsess with this scent and tries to find the way to keep women’s odor.  After he learns how to make a perfume and to keep a scent, that is the beginning of the tragedy.  



This is a German film directed by Tom Tykwer.  The film was made on a budget of €50 million, making it one of the most expensive German films.  


For me, this film is perfect by using light and camera angle to convey emotion of this story.  Grenouille in this film is like a psycho in the way that he can not control his obsession toward women’s odor, and the director made us think like that by using light and the dark place.  Another example of light technique that was using is that the director use light to portray women’s beauty perfectly, even though the woman is only a female vender.   

In the film, most women who were the victim of Grenouille’s obsession are ordinary people.  Some are whore.  Some are hard working women.  Few of them are noble.  So, they do not clean and beauty.  However, the director can make them shine their beauty in their own ways.  Everyone looks beautiful in different way and these impress me a lot.

 Also, we will get some knowledge about perfume and the process of making perfume in the old time which I do not know it is different from nowadays or not.  But, it is very interesting. 

So, next weekend if you have nothing to do, I recommend you this film.
