600 characters are really too much for a lot of movies, this being one of them. I could say two simple words, aesthetic rubbish, and you would immediately understand what I'm talking about. There are a lot of silent scenes, interesting costume choices, "visionary" moments... the complete indie package. It has nothing to do with the German serie Der Perfume, August Diehl (I love him so much) cammeo is clearly an attempt to create an expanded universe but it's just not it. It's boring. It's mostly pointless. It's too long. There are so many basic plot twists that could be laughable if the movie didn't take itself so damn seriously.

It starts off pretty well. But, soon enough become s a confusing mess. The original movie focused on how a peasant with the ability to smell could create amazing perfumes. He became so obsessed with the perfect scent that he started murdering people to find that scent. It was also a bit of a plod, and not very exciting. It was a period piece and provided some level of excitement based on that. It also had Dustin Hoffman in it as an aging perfumer that needed help, and he got it from Ben Wishaw's character. This movie tries to be that, and seems to just not make it. In all respects it just does not get to the line. It's unfortunate, as they could have done a lot more with this movie. Also, can you get rid of the character limit on the reviews. This easily could have been reviewed in 4 lines. But, I had to add filler. One of the reasons I only review once in a while. This kind of nonsense.

This materpice of a movie is totally misunderstood. The director and writer wants to tell you about love like it really is. I understand how people think this is a trash movie, but try to read in between the lines. Notice that most of the conversations are going on, while the actors dont even move their mouths! When we dive deeper into the love in this movie, we start to understand how important it is to the human kind. We are all desperate for love, just look at Dorian. The thing is! If you got too much love, you will get eaten up, just like Rex. It really is a brilliant movie, even the actors use their tears and emotions to show us their love.

Ok, so I was bored today and I was like what should I do for the next two hours and then it hit me Hey go watch a nice thriller movie you silly me. I love German and French movies so when I stumbled upon this one I really thought it might be really good according to the description of it. Also I watched other Perfume thrillers versions and they were all memorable. So, this perfume bs movie actually starts nicely and subtly like a pretty aroma that doesn't give you a headache.. Just a little interesting, kinda tiny little bit fishy smelling at moments but it nothing too stinky to set you off or make you stop watching. So I convinced myself to go on. It drags forever, so blandly and boringly you constantly have to fight with yourself and water splash your face to not fall asleep. Then suddenly directors pull a really stinky one and kill the character you thought the whole time is actually the main character. Nope, it wasn't. But you don't stress cause she was making you slap yourself for watching this bs anyway. So it drags on. On and on and on... Then you wake up abruptly, look at the tv screen and see Netflix suggesting to you what you can watch next and realize you slept through that bs movie. And you're like Damn I wanna be a hero, I gotta hit the Imdb and write a review to warn people about this disaster. So then can save themselves. Cause this Perfume movie shouldn't stink anybody's day like it did mine ever again!

German movies and dramas used to be good but now they're just low budget with very poor acting , no plot , disappointments This film tries to be 'arty farty' with a 'Laura Ashley ' vibe going on , in the way it's filmed . Then you also have the nod to Silence of the Lambs with the serial killer type of character and a blonde transvestite in this film . So suddenly it tries to be serious . There's no plot . Nothing makes sense . It's like the person who wrote this jotted down some gibberish when they were bored . What's astounding is that this story got the funding to be made into a movie! I watched half an hour and just couldn't watch anymore. I knew it couldn't get any better and reading other reviews I was right I'd give this rubbish a minus score if I could . IMBD How about introducing minus scores for movies ?
