Helpful Score: 1

An engaging story that reveals the world of 18th-century French perfumeries with the tale of a heartless, inhuman serial killer who is slave to his exceptional sense of smell. Very engaging. I heard that the film version was panned. Perhaps because (like in the book) the character is inaccessible and devoid of human caring or empathy. As in real life, not all villains are charming and stylish like Alan Rickman in Die Hard.
