Name of the movie you are reviewing: Perfume: the history of a murderer

The film is about a boy who was born in a fishmonger with an impressively skilled nose, being able to detect smells from even glass or hot stones several kilometers away with precision.

He could smell so many things that words could not describe a suitable name for each smell, in his life the only really important thing was to know all the smells, until one day he met a redhead with the most exquisite smell and he killed her by accident while trying smell her, since then it became his obsession to capture the scent, since when the girl's body cooled down, her scent disappeared.

Review:
I loved the movie, it is very interesting although it borders between the fictional and the real, it has so many things that even my mother told me it was recommended to her in her class when she was studying to be a lawyer, I started reading the book and it is quite different, in the In film, the character is seen as someone who in his own innocence and obsession committed aberrations to satisfy his desire to catch the scent, while in the book he could be classified as someone purely evil who intentionally hurts others and enjoys committing their murders.


Even so, I consider the film does a perfect job transmitting all the smells in a descriptive and visual way, for the same reason it could even be said that it is even better than the book in transmitting each scene, definitely a great complete to read the book, I consider that It would be nice if everyone saw the movie first and then read the book, the switch between the movie and the book even causes a feeling of special dark charm, definitely making it very interesting.

I do not consider it a comfortable experience for everyone, at least not for me, it does not have explicitly sexual scenes or gore, but the way it is done can turn various moments into scenes that make you feel uncomfortable, like when he started to sniff the body of the dead girl or the scene in the labyrinth.

Would you recommend this to other users? I would totally recommend it, although I know that for some it may be the end a bit abrupt if what you are looking for is something completely expected and 100% realistic, so I only suggest it but I do not say that everyone will enjoy it equally, but definitely it is a special experience and something different for everyone who wants to try
