Perfume 香水
Grenouille (French for "frog") is an unwanted Parisian orphan who, having no personal scent (learned later in the narrative), is rejected by others because they are unwittingly disturbed by him, later understood to the reader as stemming from his lack of odour. He has an extraordinary power to discern odours, and comes to loathe the scent of other people. He becomes apprenticed to a tanner at the age of eight, and after work explores the city. One day he smells a divine scent and follows it, and is shocked to find that the source of this beautiful scent is a young virginal girl just passing puberty (14-15 years old)...
十八世紀,讓-馬普蒂斯特·格雷諾耶(本·韋肖 Ben Whishaw 飾)出生在巴黎最骯臟、最惡臭不堪的地方——魚市場上。格雷諾耶天生對氣味有著驚人的天賦:無論惡臭還芳香,他都一一記住,并能輕易分辨各種氣味。當他在孤兒院長到13歲的時候,被院長賣給了制皮匠。格雷諾耶在制皮鋪過著犬馬不如的生活。機緣巧合,格雷諾耶在香水巴爾蒂尼面前展露了其過人的天賦,進入了香水鋪工作。但格·雷諾耶并不僅僅滿足于制作出世界上最芳香的香水,他夢想學得如何保存萬物氣味的方 法。巴爾蒂尼告訴格雷諾耶香水的起源地在格拉斯,那里的人知道保存氣味的方法。格·雷諾耶拿著巴爾蒂尼的推薦信來到了格拉斯。格雷諾耶愛上了青春少女的體香,為了把這種香味保存下來,格雷諾耶最終走上了殺手的道路。
推薦理由:心理上的變化很細膩,又充滿辯證,瘋狂而矛盾。
