We saw Perfume last night. Having read and enjoyed the book some 20 years ago, I was curious to see how faithful it would be rendered in film. A book about scent is one thing, but in the visual medium of film? Honestly, I enjoyed the film a lot, but at least at the outset it relied heavily (perhaps too much so) on voice over to tell you what was going on. That said I think Ben Whishaw did a remarkable job playing the amoral genius Grenouille and his quest for the ultimate scent.
