Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Crime

Director Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) has turned this best-selling novel into "a visceral thriller" that's "deeply, lushly, delightfully sinister." (Christy Lemire, Associated Press). With Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman headlining an all-star cast, Perfume tells the story of a French peasant blessed and cursed with a sense of smell so keen it is his primary experience of the world. But when first aroused by a young woman's scent, his desire to forever capture her essence quickly mutates into a dark and deadly erotic compulsion. The terror and tension mount with each beautiful victim in this spellbinding tale that culminates in a finale as unexpected as it is unforgettable.

But when Morell's pregnant bride, Norma (Davis), loses their baby and almost dies after receiving one of his ineffective drugs, Morell becomes almost insane with rage. He wants out of the deal--and he wants Barnes dead. He's too late, though, to kill Barnes: By the time Morell finds him, Barnes is already dead. Still, Barnes gets a measure of revenge as well as rid of the evidence against him by rolling Morell's body into a vat of chemicals that completely dissolve the cadaver.
