I've enjoyed Tykwer's other films especially "Run Lola Run" and "The Princess and the Warrior." His movies are always interesting visually and storywise. He does have the tendency to be a bit bizarre and "Perfume" may be his weirdest film yet. It essentially asks the cinematic question, if you don't smell are you really alive? I had never thought to ask that question before but the movie does a good job capturing the sense of smell even though it's pretty hard to smell a movie.
Maybe because the boyz have a much keener smelling ability than mine they just thought the story was silly.
The last explanation could be the right one. To a cat, nothing is scentless.
ReplyDeleteMy mum watched that movie, it was a bit strange. She thinks the book was better.
ReplyDeleteI get the same look too - glazed over.
I prefer watching cartoons!
