Instead, a major push for the Gundam TCG - a new vision-style promo with none other than Perfume providing the accompanying track. 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSEl...

Then the film shifts into an ending, so wildly unexpected and gruesome, you'll think you sat on the remote & accidentally changed the channel.

positive · AI labelView post →Perfume (2006, Tom Tykwer) is an absolutely bizarre little film but I recommend it. Sort of a cross of Dangerous Liasons and Blue Velvet. I do not know how else to describe it. Just check it out.

neutral · AI labelView post →watched Perfume (2006) yesterday. simultaneously so good and so bad. I love movies like that. genuinely some of my favorite movies are films that are 70% dogwater and 30% the best movie you've ever seen
neutral · AI labelView post →When I was 19, I saw “Perfume” with friends, and while I am against the whole murder thing, I left the film like “hah hah wouldn’t that be funny if that happened. Where we all make out?” Anyway, much later I saw Sense8, and I’m much healthier now. 😌

neutral · AI labelView post →I quite enjoyed Red White & Blue as a trashy fanfic-a-like novel, but WOW that is a bad film with zero chemistry between the leads. It regains 1 point for having Perfume Genius playing during the V&A scene.
neutral · AI labelView post →I liked the perfume because I like any part of a film that feels like the writer caught 45 minutes of some other movie on TBS while packing a bowl (in this case the movie was the 2006 Perfume: The Story of a Murderer)
positive · AI labelView post →Wow, this is completely ripped off from the movie "Perfume"
neutral · AI labelView post →I spent most of the movie trying to figure out if it was a dark comedy. They also stole a ton from Perfume; A Story of Murder.
