One of the most under rated and unique movies ever.


I love strange movies that are done right. And wow, this one was done right. The visuals were amazing, the story amazing, the unique aspect of it amazing.

To each their own, but for the life of me I can't understand how anyone could dislike this movie.

Anyone that is sick of cookie cutter Hollywood comic book movies and is reading this debating whether to rent it or not, I can't recommend it more strongly.

Yup. I can't agree that it's the best film of the decade as someone else did, but I think this is brilliant and goes right into my 8+ list.

This film must have been a challenge to the cinematographer with lighting its dark scenes to first hide and then reveal. The photography is outstanding, coupled with expert fast-paced editing. The viewer can easily experience the griminess of life and the temporary escape through the fragrances of perfume.

The only thing that threw me off was the large number of actors and actresses with British accents supposedly living in 18th century France.
