Question:
Hey all,
Amidst all these discussions on Colognes and perfumes- I'd like to get your attention to a recent movie- titled " Perfume The Story Of a Murderer" starring Dustin Hoffman and Ben Wishaw-
The movie is based on a very popular novel titled "Perfume" penned by Patrick Süskind.
The story revolves around Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, whose incomparable sense of smell and inexplicable lack of a personal scent isolates him from society. Obsessed with the rich sensory world he alone inhabits, his single objective in life becomes the preservation of the perfect scent: His work, however, takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve scents in the search for the ultimate perfume.
I just finished seeing the movie- and I sincerely suggest you to make it a point to see this movie.
It was a truly enriching experience for me
Cheers
Zeph

Answer:
There was a thread about 2 months ago when it was released.
I must say the movie is one of the best movies to come out in years.
Director Tom Twyker + Author Patrick Sueskind = Masterpiece

The film was good, but the book is much better. So much more detailed. I read it before I saw the film and as a result was slightly dissapointed with the screen version.

...just for smell purposes of course... I started wanting to do that 45 years before DVD's were a staple. I still like doing it.
Anyway, at the bottom of the page are links to discussions about the book and movie. Thierry Mugler also released a "coffret" of scents that would illustrate olfactorily parts of the story.

I read it before I saw the film and as a result was slightly dissapointed with the screen version. I just saw this movie for the first time last week courtesy of pay-per-view in my San Francisco hotel , and your comments echo my own thoughts to a "T"! At the same time the movie was quite long, there was a level of detail considerably lack from that represented in the book.
