The perfume

The perfume, directed by Tom Tykwer, tells the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a boy who, after being born in a repugnant market of Paris in te 18th century, developes the most sensitive sense of smell in the world.

Trying to capture the wonderful smell of a girl he has seen in the street, he decides to learn perfumery. This is why he discovers the way of creating a different perfume to control each of the feelings that the rest of the human beings have for him. Between them, he also does, by killing the most beautiful women, the maximum perfume, the one that controls the human love.

Although, since the point of view of the critics, The perfume is quite a good film, In my opinion it is a bit slow and, moreover, when the main character kills his victim, the scenes are very unpleasant.
