Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

[Croyles]

Have you read this book by Patrick Süskind, and what do you think of it?
I thought it was amazing. One of the rare books set in the 18th century that I actually like. I thought, how could a story about smell be delivered in a book? And now im wondering, how can a story about smell be made into a film? I guess the music will play a key role!

I have been looking forward to watching a film adaption of this for a long time.

Its a shame that Süskind didnt give anyone the rights to make this film for 15 years. The German author is nearly as reclusive as J.D. Salinger :(.
Pfff, artists. :D

No, I've never read the book, but I just saw the trailer for the film the other day and I'd really like to go see it. It looks really good.

By the way, I had no idea there was a book behind the movie.

What??? The book was published in 45 languages! INCLUDING LATIN! :D
It should be very well known in Europe, and probably America too.

Apparantly the film has gotten mixed criticism, so im curious as to whether i'll like it or not.

I don't know, I think that's a good thing.

I've never read the book, although I have been interested in it for some time. For...different reasons.

But yeah, I'm hoping to go see it this weekend. It looks really interesting. And I think I get extra credit in German class! :monster:
