Review of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) by Syzygy — 07 Jan 2007

For not the last fifteen or so minutes, this would have been a film to remember for the right reasons. But I cannot recall another film that was trotting along so well only to commit inexplicable narrative suicide with an ending that defies reason and sanity.

So ridiculous is the conclusion that it can't even serve as object lesson for young directors and writers on how not to end a story. Such a shame for there is a lot here to admire.
