El perfumista

This epic novel has already been perfectly adapted to the cinema by a German director, Tom Tykwer. I will never understand why the Germans made a disgraceful adaptation of a movie that left its mark on cinema. The acting is bad, the cinematography is mediocre, the adaptation made to the present is incredibly bad, it has failed in terms of scenario. If I were Nils Willbrandt, I would try to prevent this movie from being released. The only good thing about this movie is that it makes you want to watch the Tom Tykwer version again. I'm sure the budget spent on this movie is more than the budget in Tom Tykwer's movie. The worst movie is Netflix Germany.

German movies and dramas used to be good but now they're just low budget with very poor acting , no plot , disappointments This film tries to be 'arty farty' with a 'Laura Ashley ' vibe going on , in the way it's filmed . Then you also have the nod to Silence of the Lambs with the serial killer type of character and a blonde transvestite in this film . So suddenly it tries to be serious . There's no plot . Nothing makes sense . It's like the person who wrote this jotted down some gibberish when they were bored . What's astounding is that this story got the funding to be made into a movie!

I watched half an hour and just couldn't watch anymore. I knew it couldn't get any better and reading other reviews I was right I'd give this rubbish a minus score if I could . IMBD How about introducing minus scores for movies ?

What the hell is this complete disaster? Who let this to air? There is no plot. 1 and a half hour dissapointment. It sounded really interssting, but that's all. The characters are ridicuolosly bad. I almost fall asleep while watching.... The interesring story turned out really annoying at the end. The whole story failed at the begining. Police never employ someone who has no sense of smell.... Nowadays, every movie which contains one dead body or murder, get thriller label. This movie is so far from real thriller. Instead of this, this is pure madness! I deffinitely do not recommend to watch this german crap!

What did I just watch??? The movie started good with interesting storyline and it kept me wondering how the end would be. However, after 40-50 minutes watching, I 'smelled' something fishy or suspicious about this movie, yet I have been successfully seduced and could not rejected this movie scent. If I can be honest to you, I still don't know what was happened to me and why I have spent my precious time to watch this movie. This movie had left me confused, lost and stranded in a strange land without any food, gas or communication tools to seek for help. Please, please do watch this movie and help me to find out the whole points of this life.

If you have seen the original one, the American/English one twin, based on the same book, you will be very disappointed if you try to see this piece. The idea behind the whole movie is to modernize the plot, however all the manage to do was to damage the story and to promote bad actors. The policeman is the worst of them, he has no talents for actor and maybe has his part only basic on his friendship with someone. It is techy and has nothing to contribute with Cinema, despite the good work of the lead actress. On the other hand, she cries too much. By the end, the story makes no sense anymore and all the time you spend trying to fulfill your hope that the movie will, somehow, something that worth your time, it doesn't.
