Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Born amidst the stench of 18th century Paris, Jean-Baptiste develops a highly sensitive sense of smell. As he grows older this keen sense obsesses him and he longs to capture the essences of people and objects he finds otherwise unattainable; a desire that takes him down a sinister path in this lush adaptation of Patrick Suskind's best-selling novel. From German director Tom Tykwer ('Heaven', 'Run Lola, Run'), and starring Ben Whishaw, Dustin Hoffman, Alan Rickman and Rachel Hurd-Wood.
