A flush of senses

Rachel Hurd-Wood as Laure Richis

Hi^^. I get the impression that 'Lillys Garden' should be renamed into 'Lillys Cinema', because the movies are definitely taking over the recent topics^^. Seems like I am much into them at the moment, so I hope that's okay! Yesterday they aired the movie 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' (2006) after the novel 'perfume' by the German author Patrick Süßkind. I read it when I was fourteen years old, so in the retroperspective this appeared to be a little early -.-. The story is about a young man who posseses the ability to smell all odours of the world and to differentiate and locate them. He becomes the assistant of a perfumer and struggles to fulfill his life goal: to capture the fragrance of beautiful young women and create the world's best perfume. Sadly, his attempts are unsettling and depressing and he turns into a sought-after criminal to fulfill his dream. It is a pure flush of senses, bewitching, fragrant, colourful, nightmarish, gloomy, mournful und touching...maybe a masterpiece. If you watch the movie, don't miss out the book! Love,
Lilly :))
Laure is the most beautiful girl in town.
