Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

Saw Perfume the other day... I was the only one of us who hadn't read the book, and consequently I think I liked the film more (coming to a film with zero expectations always helps).

I thought the film was well-acted and the set design was excellent, but it probably did drag on a little long... Apparently the Jean-Baptiste character (ie. the murderer of the film's title) is a far more sympathetic character in the book. But not knowing that, it didn't bother me.

Rachel Hurd-Wood was appropriately gorgeous. Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run etc) really likes the redheads.
