Our take
A scintillating story of scent and obsession winds down a much darker path in this lush historical thriller from the director of Run Lola Run. Based on the bestselling novel by Patrick Süskind, this lavish production boasts an all-star cast including Ben Whishaw, Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman.
