Perfume (4/8) Movie CLIP - Human Perfume (2006) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) uses the scent of a prostitute to create his first human perfume.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
An obsessive French perfumer with a highly developed olfactory sense and an all-consuming drive to capture the essence of love eventually resorts to murder in his unrepentant quest to find the key ingredient for his recipe in director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of author Patrick Suskind's best-selling 1985 novel. Born in a fetid fish market and raised in a dilapidated orphanage, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) toiled his childhood away in a rank tannery run by the thuggish Grimal (Sam Douglas). Subsequently obsessed by smell, Grenouille's keen olfactory sense becomes so finely tuned that it eventually overpowers such human qualities as love and compassion. Though he has indeed discovered the unmistakable scent of a woman, Grenouille finds it impossible to connect with the fairer sex on any sort of meaningful level. Roaming the streets of Paris late one night, Grenouille catches the scent of a young girl selling plums and impulsively strangles her, later sniffing her nude corpse in a twisted attempt to preserve the distinctive scent in his memory. After persuading legendary perfumer Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) to take him on as an apprentice, Grenouille travels to the town of Grasse in Southern France in order to learn the art of enfleurage at a firm run by the highly respected Mme. Arnulfi (Corinna Harfouch). It is there that Grenouille becomes dangerously drawn to the vestal aroma of the young and beautiful Laura (Rachel Hurd-Wood), the daughter of widower merchant Antione Richis (Alan Rickman). Soon driven to madness by such a pure scent, the spellbound Grenouille continues to claim the lives of the numerous young girls in a tragic attempt to bottle the impossibly elusive smell of virginal womanhood.

HIT US UP:

[CodyFern_]

Ben Whishaw’s acting is so underrated. He did a phenomenal job in capturing Grenouille’s characters, especially the dead and soulless eyes.

[hugecake]

I remember reading about a serial killer in Italy that kill women and turn their body into soap and cake

[TheLisergicQueen]

Such a crazy yet somewhat intriguing idea, to create a human perfume from a body...

[hoseokismyhope]

great adaptation from the book :)
in german class, my teacher complained why they chose a good looking actor for this role (since he looks ""like a monster"" in the book bc of extreme flaky skin and bad scars) but I think this actor did really well, good for the role

[russell]

Damn, Ben Whishaw acting is perfect, he give a sensation of weirdness and coldness to viewer.

[mahashahbaz]

Darkest, Creepiest & Mind Blowing movie of all the time.

[jaekvj]

Lmao my parents are nuts that they let me watch this movie with them when i was 10 or 11 😂😂

[itlog]

did he really have to kill her for this? how about politely asking

[vickythao]

When it said human perfume, I literally thought it was going to be a human being made into a perfume....

Oh, wait...

[ce.]

If you like the movie, read the book! I have watched the movie first and now read the book, I'm almost finished by now. The book of course captures much more, but in my opinion you need to read the book to fully understand Jean Baptiste.

[stephanieyeshuaislife]

I have to say.

This is downright creepy.

[laurendaley]

Imagine being killed just to become perfume

[marlepeace]

I always thought after watching this scene “skin oil. He’s collecting skin oil.”

[charcharrealsmoothe]

The dog is like: I've seen some stuff. 😰

[finnkyrie]

I first saw this movie back in 2009, and even until now it is still easily one of my fav movies. 7 year old me was enchanted and terrified.

[uniteatonce]

this is so beautiful. the souls of people turning into irresistible essence.

[mohammadbader]

that movie teach us ... many things such as *u have to smell the shit to know the meaning of a good perfume smell * and in life u have to try the shit to know the good

[raphses]

This music is one of the most oppressive things I’ve ever listened to.

[malyahmoore]

This movie is well thought out. Loved it!!

[ramrakesh]

Dark deep heartbreaking movie ever
