Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

In 18th-century Paris, a young man born amid squalor has an extraordinary sense of smell and becomes determined to create the finest perfume in the world. His search for rare scents grows increasingly disturbing, turning an unusual story of obsession into a dark psychological crime drama.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like unusual, atmospheric crime stories and can handle disturbing material; Not for you if you want a light, fast-paced film or a sympathetic central character.
