This movie blew me away. I love it
Same! It was well produced, casting, clothing and the story telling.
Still not as good as the novel.
Comparing movies to their books is a fool’s errand
there are some rare movies that are as good as their books, like The Sheltering Sky
The novel kinda lost me at some point around when he started hiding in a cave for ages. Loved the beginning though.
I like that it’s more obvious that he’s a complete psychopath. The movie made him too sympathetic. Also he’s described as being a lot uglier and disfigured, which make the disgusted reaction of others towards him a lot more understandable. Ben Wishaw does a great job, but he’s just physically too attractive.
that was my favorite part. That’s where he realizes that he doesn’t smell
his life, and the novel, changes there
that is in the beginning
i remember liking the book so much, i didn’t watch the movie.
süskind has a short story about a man and a pigeon, that too is an interesting read
