Movie Review
Grade: B-
It's the perfect name for a serial killer movie: Perfume. Okay, it might be a bit odd, until you take it in context: the movie is about a misguided young man in 18th century France who wants to achieve the perfect scent, that of a woman.

Perfume, by Evelyn
September 17, 2007
This was a strangely interesting movie, the story done well. I enjoyed the period piece and the narration by John Hurt was riveting. The story line a strange one but none the less better than commercial movies. The ending was just wrong, there was no justice. It starts wheres it ends.
