KINKY, DISTURBING
It's surprising that it took almost twenty years to bring Patrick Suskind's kinky, disturbing bestseller to the screen. I haven't read the novel since its appearance, but from what I remember, director Tykwer has managed to capture some of the qualities, if not the essence, of that book. Young Ben Whishaw is both appealing and disturbing in the lead role. An American Big Name-Dustin Hoffman--and a British Big Name-Alan Rickman-have supporting roles, but neither adds much of substance to the film. The cinematography is reminicent of another German cult classic, BROTHER OF SLEEP. The ending is more than a bit ludicrous, and at almost 150 minutes, it's too long. But the sheer grusomeness of the villain's deeds will hold your attention for the most part.
