It was interesting to find out that all the dialogue in this flick is unscripted, but I didn't know that until after I'd seen it. I should give it another shot, the "um"s and "uh"s were really distracting the first time around.
Perfume is outstanding for its style and originality -- the only film that comes close would be "City of Lost Children". But this is more accessible, alike Grimm's Faerytales, somehow delightfully enchanting and at the same time darkly macabre. Carefully mix tragedy, innocent romance, a dash of the medieval drama and fantasy, you have a spellbindingly twisted tale that's definitely not for children.
