Perfume - The Story of a Murderer (2006)

Book written by Patrick Süskind, directed by Tom Tykwer (him of Lola Rennt)

The logic of the story left some big gaps. Particularly in the beginning, half of the film is a hippety-hop rabbit tale, well done, beautiful scenery, all too nice... only later the magic of the story starts to shine through.

Seems the story is a bit too big for a film.

Must read the book!
