Perfume: The Nose Always Knows

 

The impossible happened. Patrick Süskind’s “unfilmable” novel, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, was adapted for the big screen (2006). This was no easy feat because scent, the book's theme, is difficult to portray cinematically.  

Some critics have pointed to the film's political undertones, even interpreting it as an allegory of the Third Reich. The producer, Bernd Eichinger, is no stranger to this subject, having gained international acclaim for The Downfall, a Hitler biopic. Apparently, Eichinger had been bugging Süskind to let him at Perfumesince its publication in 1985.  His perseverance paid off. 

The Fourth Kind.......WTF!!!!!!

 

WTF!!! That's all I kept saying as I watched this movie.  This is not a horror or suspense film.  It's also not for the faint of heart.  For anyone expecting another Paranormal Activity, you are in for a rude awakening.  

The Fourth Kind is not scary.  Or terrifying.  It is deeply disturbing.
