Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)
A film for people with good imagination
This film takes you into a different world - the world of scents, instincts and drives. If you are not ready to sink into this elemental world, you will not enjoy the movie to the fullest. On the contrary, if you are in the right mood, believe me, ten minutes after the start you will begin to smell everything that Grenouille can smell, even here in the movie theater. There is an abundance of moments in the film that will make you feel frightened, repelled, enraptured and even...in love. But, of course, only if you have imagination enough to sketch for yourself all the scenes that have not been depicted in the movie, but can be read about in the book. A film for beauty, cruelty and love, definitely worth seeing!
Une liaison pornographique (1999)
A Scheama of Everyone's Fantasy
A movie about all of us - what we dream of doing, do for real or envy others who do it. The mere meetings of the couple are the fantasy. It's an everyday matter to experience a blind date, but it's a one-to-a thousand chance that it will be so perfect. Its perfection makes the ending so tragic. I was to a great extent shocked by the anonymity, in which the couple exists. And how can "he" realize that he doesn't know neither her name, nor her telephone numbler, nor ...anything, after so many months of regular closeness?! This movie definitely moved me with the simplicity of the story and the tragedy of human misunderstanding. Again, I was fascinated by the beauty of European films.
L'auberge espagnole (2002)
a realistic inter-cultural experience
Most of all I like the realism of the movie. For example, it was funny to see how many forms you need in order to have the chance to be an Erasmus student. This is the bitter truth; I myself gave up the try to be one because of this bureaucracy. In addition, the different-language intercourse is catching, because it reveals the absurdity and, at the same time, the compatibility, of sharing an apartment with people from different countries. I guess there won't be a university student, who will stay indifferent to the film. Especially those who have been to international seminars, summer universities or Erasmus programs. At least I felt the plot close to my own experience.
