If you loved Donnie Darko, try Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Donnie Darko, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is
You apprentice with a perfumer in 18th century Paris, where your uncanny sense of smell leads to alchemic heights. But the obsession to capture the most sublime scents descends into something dark. Tykwer's adaptation dwells on the sensory, a feast that turns queasy.
