Title: If you want an hour and a half of improv, this is for you
Review: The little caveat at the beginning of the credits should also be on the DVD box, "All actors dialogue was improvised".Wow, does that certainly make a difference. Perfume had an excellent cast including Jared Harris, Jeff Goldblum, Mariska Hargitay, Rita Wilson, Paul Sorvino, Peter Gallagher, et al, in roles that would have been fantastic if fleshed out. However, the movie fell flat due to choppy and hesitant dialogue, save two scenes that were excellent and seemed lifted from an actual movie.This movie doesn't even reach the level of a good documentary, but is more like sitting through an improv class. In my opinion it's not worth sitting through for the very few reedeming moments. Unless you want to see how well some of your favorite actors perform when improvising the entire movie.
