A Wonderful Movie

I love cinema. I already watched good and bad movies. A wonderful movie that I

watched was �Perfume: The Story of a Murderer�. This film was based on the best-selling

novel by Patrick Suskind, German writer. I don�t read the book, but I still want read it. The

movie is a thriller and crime. The director is Tom Tykwer. The actors aren�t very popular in

Brazil. They are Ben Whishaw, Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Dustin Hoffman.

The story is set in 18th century, in Paris, France. The scenario is �strong�, it affected

me.

The film is about a boy: Grenouille. He is alone in world. He has a gift: his sense of

smell is refined. He makes exotic perfumes, but he wants to make the most exotic perfume

in the world. In this way, he decides to kill women for take her perfumes. Then, he

becomes a murderer. The end of the story is surprising, but I won�t tell, because you should

see the movie.

�Perfume: The Story of a Murderer� is a interesting and different film. It is exciting,

because you will love and will hate Grenouille. Moreover, the soundtrack is fantastic. It is a

important element of the film!
