Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)


A thriller directed by Tom Tykwer, starring Dustin Hoffman.
A young man with an extraordinary sense of smell learns the perfume trade and murders women to capture their scent.
The plot and characters are great. The setting is perfect and the style is very well done. There is a contrast that is emphasized of clean vs. dirty. The filthy streets and alleyways of the cities are contrasted with nobility and women who smell so good to the main character. Being a longer film (over 2 hours), the pace seems right, as it just goes right by very smoothly. I'm rating this awesome because it really impressed me.
