Perfume

I went to see the X-Files movie again and I still liked it-I thought it was better the second time around although there were some questionable shots-over the shoulder, some views obscured for no good reason-it seemed a little sloppy. But I noticed things I didn't see the first time, so that was cool.

And my netflix movie was perfume, the Story of a Murderer. I vividly remember reading the book many years ago, so I was looking forward it, especially as it was directed by Tom Tywkwer, of Run Lola run and The Princess and the Warrior.
It was beautiful to look at, I'll give it that-the cinematography was gorgeous. And the acting was very good too-the guy who played Grenouille was very good. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get past the ick factor. Grenouille is a man with an extreme sense of smell and is driven to create new and more beautiful perfumes every day-and with sense of smell, he can do it. But then he starts doing it by killing beautiful women, to capture their scent and turn it into a perfume. I have a high tolerance for violence (sad to say) and i don't think this was that violent. But when Grenouille scrapes off the fat of the skin and turns each of his victims into perfume...it was gross. There is a good movie in this one, I just can't seem to find it because it was icky. Sorry for the lack of vocabulary but that's the best word.
