Perfume

Under discussion:

I came to see this after a week of evenings watching the pale-faced and eye-twitching visage of Ben Wishaw,in a mini series called "Criminal Justice"on BBC ,and already had him down as the new John Simm,or ,perhaps a Brit' Ryan Gosling.  He plays Sebastian (the one with the teddy bear) in the new Brideshead Revisited film. In this he manages to look older somehow ,and definitely orange. Unctious smells drip off the screen from the word go,from the fish-market, to the tanning baths and the concentrated essential oils of Dustin Hoffmans cellar.  As this unfolds you realise that it is not to be taken entirely literally,and reveals itself as a sort of (grim) fairy tale,or legend of folklore. It's quite perfect,in that way.
