Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

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.
