Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

Because I admired the wonderful experiment of Suskind's brilliantly written novel, I was skeptical that a film could capture the most elusive of our senses visually as Suskind did with prose. But Tykwer manages, not only to create visual aroma, but a character who's obsession feels genuine. I think readers of the book will appreciate the film far more than viewers who've not experienced the novel.
