Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Wishaw), born in the slums of eighteenth century Paris develops a superior olfactory sense in his childhood, which he uses to create the finest perfumes with his mentor, the famous perfumer Baldini (Dustin Hoffman). Gradually, his skills turn into an obsession to preserve female scents in the search for the ultimate perfume.


Video: 5/5

This is a glorious HD transfer in absolutely artifact-free VC-1 compression. I have seen almost all available HD DVD and some BD releases. Honestly, this is one of the very best HD DVD transfers I have seen so far.

Shot on Kodak Vision2 100T 5212, Vision2 200T 5217, Vision2 500T 5218, the transfer wonderfully preserves the fine grain structure of the film emulsion with incredible fine detail.

A highly atmospheric film in an immaculate HD DVD presentation.

Highly recommended.
