Saw the trailer of this a long time ago and it really shocked me. One minute it seemed like another period piece about tough livin, the next minute women are losing their hair - the wrong way

Damn, forgot about the movie, entirely.

I thought the trailer was pretty damn cool. What's the goriest thing in the movie? I don't like to see movies with too much painful stuff going on.  :'(

Nothing too gory, really, most of the fish guts and dead animal stuff happens in quick cuts, establishing the chaotic atmosphere of the market place and the harsh conditions of the kid's birth.  I am sure you can prolong the nastiness via pausing and slow mo (there was at least one pretty nasty evisceration scene, and gross maggots have turned up a few times).  The nastiest shot is probably that poor, emaciated baby writhing around in the slime and fish guts.

There's also a throat cutting scene that's relatively bloody, but not horribly. A lot of the people in the movie are so far very dirty.  On the corpse, the movie does a good job of capturing the creepy grey color skin takes on after death.

Dustin Hoffman is pretty awesome in this.  Sometimes his accent slips, but you can tell he's into the role a lot.

Also, with the period hairpiece and loads of frenchie makeup on, combined with his old person leather skin, he kind of looks like a muppet.

"Perfume was one of Kurt Cobain's favorite books. He used the book as the basis for the Nirvana song Scentless Apprentice."

You are a very good writer. I will read your blog and work on mine :-\

The internet makes my writing look far worse than it is. I've always been great at writing papers/research but the messageboard makes me lazy

It's a great metaphor to the scary lengths creative types will go to, to fulfill their dreams/visions.

I need to read the novel the movie was based on.
