Perfume 香水
Grenouille (French for "frog") is an unwanted Parisian orphan who, having no personal scent (learned later in the narrative), is rejected by others because they are unwittingly disturbed by him, later understood to the reader as stemming from his lack of odour. He has an extraordinary power to discern odours, and comes to loathe the scent of other people. He becomes apprenticed to a tanner at the age of eight, and after work explores the city. One day he smells a divine scent and follows it, and is shocked to find that the source of this beautiful scent is a young virginal girl just passing puberty (14-15 years old)...
十八世纪,让-马普蒂斯特·格雷诺耶(本·韦肖 Ben Whishaw 饰)出生在巴黎最肮脏、最恶臭不堪的地方——鱼市场上。格雷诺耶天生对气味有着惊人的天赋:无论恶臭还芳香,他都一一记住,并能轻易分辨各种气味。当他在孤儿院长到13岁的时候,被院长卖给了制皮匠。格雷诺耶在制皮铺过着犬马不如的生活。机缘巧合,格雷诺耶在香水巴尔蒂尼面前展露了其过人的天赋,进入了香水铺工作。但格·雷诺耶并不仅仅满足于制作出世界上最芳香的香水,他梦想学得如何保存万物气味的方 法。巴尔蒂尼告诉格雷诺耶香水的起源地在格拉斯,那里的人知道保存气味的方法。格·雷诺耶拿着巴尔蒂尼的推荐信来到了格拉斯。格雷诺耶爱上了青春少女的体香,为了把这种香味保存下来,格雷诺耶最终走上了杀手的道路。
推荐理由:心理上的变化很细腻,又充满辩证,疯狂而矛盾。
