Has any one seen Perfume?

[Lynch]

The story about Joan Baptist Grennery (i think thats it)
and his extrraordinary nose.
he smells stuff, and kills a bunch of ladies to fumagate their skin or something and makes the ultimate potion to send the worlds population into ecstacy but kills himself. Weird Movie, any one seen it?

 

[Phillips]

[PJ]

Yes.

As usual the book was much better.

Is it a true story?
i got the eerie feeling that it felt true, plus the name of the dude also rang a bell

No its not a true story at all, its a work of fiction by Patrick Suskind. A true classic imo. The movie version isnt bad at all, but there's so much they miss out on (as is always the case with great books turned into film).

Definitely worth watching, its one hell of a bizarre story. I loved it

Btw he is called Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Grenouille means "frog" in French)

The song Scentless Apprentice by Nirvana is about the book.

Believe it or not, one of my students here put me on to it. I didn't much enjoy it. Fell asleep during it, actually.
