I really have enjoyed everything that
Tom Tykwer has done. He is an incredible filmmaker and a true visual storyteller. I heard Perfume was one of those "un-filmable books". Now I haven't read the book but the film is beautiful and compelling. Like the character in the film wanting to create new scents,
Tykwer creates visuals that I have really never seen or imagined. For the most part it's a very strong cast, although Dustin Hoffman was a bit over the top for me. It's a total enjoyable and very unique experience.
