In Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, the viewer is put in a world of sensual pleasure, like the protagonist's obsession with smell. The work takes viewers into 18th-century France, which is set between desire and violence- when pursuing beauty can follow moral decay. Beautiful cinematography gives the film another dimension; it makes a parable between the depth of Grenouille's depravity and the social insignificance of his grotesque actions.
