Il profumiere

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.

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!

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 ?

This movie features some of the most talented actors in Germany, in my humble opinion, such as the fantastic August Diehl and the wonderful Ludwig Simon, or the talented Emilia Schüle. I'm still trying to figure out what lured them into this project...

"The Perfume" by Patrick Süskind is such a great novel and is mentioned to be the source of inspiration for this movie. Unfortunately there is neither any kind of intriguing storyline, nor do we get to know the characters or their ambitions in depth, which inevitably leaves the viewer with this fragmentary piece that is hard to engage in. Some of the more odd characters, such as the female accomplice Rex, would need so much more explaination in this narrative. The viewer just can figure out what drives them to their action (despite total madness?).

It's such a pity, that the script is so bad, because the actors are as great as always. I'm suffering while watching them saying some of the most pathetic nonsense-lines from the script. They are struggling hard to make the lines work, but the dialogues and monologues are just too strange. I'm very sorry on their behalf.

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.
