On the subject of trailers, here's a very odd one for a film based on another highly praised German novel, Perfume. I've never heard anything of this before, but the trailer is decidedly creepy and has some quite disturbing images in it...if you catch them.

The story, according to Cinematical...

...it's been "hailed as one of the most influential works of German literature in the past two decades" about a guy with the earth's best sense of smell but also, sadly, no personal aroma whatsoever. Ah, irony. He becomes obsessed with bottling the scent of a virgin...

Wooo. The full title Perfume: The Story of a Murderer coupled with the trailer does give you an idea of how dark it is.

The trailer is all in German by the way, but the film isn't. See if you can catch the star turns, I was quite surprised by some of the faces I saw in it considering I hadn't heard anything about this until now. You can see the trailer over at the official German site. See what you think, deliciously dark I would suggest.
