Lyric Notes 5/13

I normally won't do any reviews, or give my opinion on the films I'm showing, mostly because I'm very poor at articulating my thought process, and also because no one really wants to hear it anyway. But I do have to say, I've never seen anything like Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. I don't know if I can recommend it to everyone, but I will say that it's not as graphic as you would think it should be. It is mostly just very strange. Strange because it leads you to believe that it's a regular movie, with an original through line (that being the bit about perfume and scent), then the last 15 minutes happen and leave you feeling...um...dumbfounded. I didn't know whether to like it or not, which, I have to say, is quite an anomaly. I was going to steel someone else's opinion because I feel incomplete without one, but I couldn't do that with a clear conscience. So I just talked to more and more people about it until I finally felt like I got it. Needless to say, this doesn't happen very often with movies. So, if you want to see this movie, make sure you get here before Thursday because I can't promise that I will keep it if it has as low of an attendance rate as it's had.
