I am trying to be kind and generous about this film. What I never realized before viewing it, is that the picture is science fantasy about drug use, and it is only after around 2 hours that fact is revealed at least to me.
Apparently, the story is taken from a best-selling book.
Seems to me the writer was high on some substances when writing this fantasy and he uses perfume as a substitute for whatever he was on.
The story: A lunatic is obsessed with perfume and commit murders in furtherance of his obsession and the question is can his perfume seduce the rest of the world?
Positive aspects include that the movie is beautifully filmed and has haunting music.
Also the cat and dog in the movie give good albeit brief performances.
Poor performances from all the leads who are ultimately unconvincing as the story and plot are totally ludicrous.
A few points added for the positives =
3/10.
