Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Who’s in it: Ben Whishaw, Dustin Hoffman, Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Simon Chandler, John Hurt (narrator).
What it’s about: Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Whishaw) uses his refined sense of smell for his life’s work: to create the most intoxicating scent the world has ever known. Too bad he has to kill many young women to do it.
Worth watching? (star)(star)(star)
“It is to director [Tom] Tykwer’s credit that, although you never come close to understanding Jean-Baptiste, you don’t turn your nose up at him either.”
