Tom Tykwer (RUN LOLA RUN) directs this ravishingly stylized adaptation of Patrick Süskind’s best-selling novel, set in an intoxicating vision of eighteenth-century France where Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) uses his olfactory genius to become one of the most celebrated perfumers of his time. But Grenouille’s obsession with capturing one sublime scent in particular gradually leads him down a disturbing path, a descent that Tykwer evokes in a full-sensory smorgasbord of beauty and horror.
