Awesome and completely original. It's like if Dexter was a bad guy but you were fin with it.

Such a totally bizarre and odd concept for a story, I couldn't help but love it's strange originality.

I've read the novel in High School, so it was fresh in my memory when the movie came out. I guess that's the reason I was expecting more.

I can't describe in words the entire beauty of this masterpiece. Patrick Süskind wrote an incredible book and Tom Tykwer breathed life into it. _It's the only movie I consider better than the book it comes from_. The story is enriched by the soundtrack performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker & Sir Simon Rattle. The atmosphere of a dark fairy tail is all around us from the very beginning. [spoiler] The protagonist has a life purpose just like Jesus, he's a messiah of love. But it's a love made of perfumes, it's the carnal love of desire that emanates from the bodies. And he just wants to collect that love to make the perfect perfume, pure love that can bind anyone to it. A love that can make you a God among humans and kill you at the same time because it's that powerful.[/spoiler] I loved anything about this movie, the actors, the customs, the environment, the lights,[spoiler] every little piece of it together make a masterpiece just like every right essence together make a great perfume.[/spoiler]

Amazing movie. Charming but in a wrong kind of way.
