"For the first time in is life, Grenouille realized that he had no smell of his own. He realizes that all his life he had been a nobody to everyone. What he now felt was the fear of his own oblivion. It was though he did not exist."
- The Narrator, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
If you have seen Run Lola Run, then you may like this film. Tom Tykwer (Cloud Atlas) did a spectacular job as a director and as a composer. But I highly applaud the cinematographer, Frank Griebe (Run Lola Run, Cloud Atlas). Tykwer and Griebe love to work together, and I can see why: they are true artists. This is one of my favorite scenes from this movie. It is a high angle shot, which awakens anxiety to the viewer. It foreshadows that something bad is going to happen to the plum girl. Let's focus on the color. The color palette from this shot varies: warm colors (the plums and the red hair from the girl) contrasts with the dirty wood from the background. Although it is a frightening scene, it is still beautiful. The whole movie is aesthetically perfect due to its cinematography.
The film is based on the international best selling novel by Patrick Süskind. This is the movie trailer. Check it out!
