Perfume



Today I watched the movie Perfume. Let's just say I was nothing short of amazed.

I think the movie was so extraordinary partly because it walked a fine line very close to being completely ridiculous. If I was to tell the story to someone, they would probably say it sounded totally stupid and weird. But the way the movie was composed and directed made me just eat up every bit of it. The things that happen are so extreme but yet somehow understandable. I believe the film was a really beautiful examination into the search for love and the power of innocence.

Not to mention Ben Whishaw was absolutely beautiful in a creepy way. I swear his neck is five miles long. Mm.
