    Ok so, for real, in the 90s they made a film where a weird old guy goes round sniffing young women and they called it Scent of a Woman. You know, if you're wondering why women need feminism.

    Books to film 📚=🎞️ Scent of a Woman (1969), originally Darkness and Honey by Giovanni Arpino, was adapted to film in 1992. The novel is set in post-WW2 Italy & explores regret & darker themes. The film is a remake of Italian movie & mentorship & redemption as major themes. 🌸💨👩🏻‍🦰 #filmsky #booksky

    I only saw three of the Best Picture nominees, and I liked the other two better. (Sinners, Bugonia.) Yes, One Battle is a good movie, and yes, PTA was way overdue. But this movie isn't half the movie Magnolia was. It's like watching Pacino win for "Scent of a Woman," which is not in his top ten.

    “Godfather 2 he wasn’t bad”? Pacino was brilliant in that film Not only that, he plays a very different character there from the scenery-chewing detective in Heat, or Scent of A Woman, the later-career rut he falls into

    i’m not sure it was his Pacino “Scent of a Woman” Oscar, albeit there might be an element of that. He still had an objectively better season than the competition, for me. At minimum a “Heat” level season in Pacino terms, and it would have been a travesty for him to garner no award like that film.

    #MovieChallenge 2: Scent of a Woman. Pacino is very good in this but his best actor Oscar win should have occurred 20 years earlier for Godfather Part 2. It’s a decent enough film and Al gets his shouty, courtroom type speech in at the end. 7/10

    Scent of a Woman (1992) Dino Risi's 1974 film was a gently humorous piece of sentiment. In this remake, Al Pacino lets his weird mannerisms run amok as a blind colonel helped by a callow prep student (Chris O'Donnell). We're supposed to love this bastard. It ends with a rousing speech. Barf.

    There’s a whole lot I like about this movie. The camp factor, the early Charlize performance, and that despite the tradition, its the woman who sees the danger in the Devil. It’s a good role for Keanu too. I also like this performance from Pacino better than Scent of a Woman.

    or sometimes they'll go it as an apology for not giving them an Oscar for the film where they should've won it, that's why many suspect Pacino won for the frankly godawful "Scent of a Woman"-it was meant as an apology for not giving him an award for his role in Scarface like they should've.
