Movie Review - "Perfume"
… drama set in pre-revolution France about a man with an acute sense of smell. From a terrible childhood to indentured servitude, the man is driven to collect all smells. Not a gory movie but one that keeps you watching based on the storyline. Good movie; ending could use more but still worth a rental. - JM
