Perfume: The Story of A Murderer

[rosered]

Has anyone else heard about this film? A friend of mine just read the book it's based on and was raving about it to me, and said they were making a movie of it. I checked out the trailer and it looks beautiful! ( It's here (http://www.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/perfume/), if no one has seen it before.)

What do you guys think of this? I think it looks so good - dark and intense.

I read the novel by Patrick Suskind a number of years ago and thought it was brilliant... I hope the film does the book justice, as the novel is very dark and disturbing.

Well, the movie is out in Europe right now, and I've been seeing a lot of really positive reviews from some early screenings here.

Reviews like this this one (http://european-films.net/content/view/397/57/) make me very excited to see the movie for myself. It calls the movie "Flat out the most exciting cinematic adaptation of a novel since Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy". (Though beware that review's got spoilers, but since you've read the book you already know them anyway. Just warning!)

I've heard a lot of stuff about the more intense aspects of the story/plot, and I'm really curious as to how some of it will be presented but, since I loved Run, Lola, Run, I feel like this director knows what he is doing.

The book is definitely worth reading though?
