Movie Review: Perfume

My Rating: 8/10

A thrill ride of a cliffhanger from the begining coupled with a surprising climax. An unconventional ending makes this film an entertaining if grisly, experience.

The life of Jean Baptiste is a hard one, tempting us to overlook his crimes when his passion overtakes morality in his gruesome quest. A melancholic and edgy soundtrack plays throughout the film spiced up by ominous classical tones.

My compliments go to the writer for a refreshing concept to the age-old suspense thriller. Whoever thought distilling young women for their essence could produce perfume? More intriguing still is that the collection of all 9 types of essences could make a potion so powerful so as to contemplate the enslaving the human race?

It is interesting to note that whoever helps our antagonist suffers a fateful end, from his mother to his master.
