The release of "Perfume" has made people look forward to it for two decades. Twenty-one years ago, Süskind's novel was called "an important event, a miracle. Countless producers competed for film rights. The reclusive Süskind believes that only the directors of "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange" Stanley Kubrick can only hold the tube. Kubrick died in 1999. Three years later, Bernd Eichinger, Süskind's friend who had filmed "The Name of the Rose" and "The Fall of the Empire", made millions The Euro seeks the film rights of "Perfume". Tom Tykwer, the director of "Lola Run", has been favored by Bernd Eichinger to direct the film.
Based on the best-selling masterpiece, this method adds a sense of mystery and intimacy to the film Facing a large number of book fans, Bernd Eichinger said: "We use the power of imagery, sound and music. Create an atmosphere of smell. In order to be faithful to the original scenes, he traveled to Germany, Spain, Italy, and France, flooding the streets of the location with 17 tons of fish and animal carcasses, 20 nose features and deep breathing shots, and mobilized nearly a thousand people in slow motion. The extras reproduce the carnival crowd under the magic of perfume... However, Tom Tykwer replaced an important prop: perfume with aftershave. The
film maintains the usual sense of rhythm and smooth camera language of Tom Tykwer's films , well-made sets and costumes, everything is trying to tend to the work. Towards a variety of flavors. Dustin Hoffman's Baldik and Ben Wesher's Grenouille are equally impressive, though, Fans of the book felt that the movie was different from the "Perfume" they had in
mind . The omission of details in the book made the audience complain, and the description of the fate and inner world of the characters was also different from the original. It can be seen that Tom Tykwer I hope the characters have affection, but in Süskind's writing, Grenouille is as transparent and cold as a perfume bottle; the fate of the supporting characters reflects the difference between the director's and the writer's perception of life - not all evil will be punished, more They live on. Movies that destroy evil are an ideal, and novels that depict their existence are a reality.
