No, it wasn't worth that. But I saw it in about 2 minutes and liked the creepy aspect. You need a high speed connection, A! Ashamed to say that I have read all of the early Tom Robbins, but not yet Jitterbug Perfume. Ouch, 20 minutes!!! No, it wasn't worth that. But I saw it in about 2 minutes and liked the creepy aspect.

Buggy, like the book, which I received from a creepy architect in '90. I had just met him, he knew of my perfume obsession, sent me that in the mail. The ending sucks. Yes, I haven't had my coffee yet, need to vent, lol. Why in the hell don't they make a movie of Jitterbug Perfume? A romp, a stomp, a wild and crazy wafting of a really fun story about perfume. Where's that coffee? Grumble -- 20 minutes for a movie more about murder than perfume. I waited 20 minutes on dialup to DL *that*?

It would work better, I think. Whatever -- if Rickman's in it, I'll watch it ;-) Actually, I hope they just adapt it freely and don't try to stick too close to the book.

Am a little doubtful about being able to successfully adapt it to film, but hey, I'll go see it. Thanks for the info. I read Perfume about 6 years ago, LOVED it.

I should read it again, and I will most definitely see the film. I agree that it is a challenging adaptation since the story relies so much on the inner life of this character, but the cast and director make it promising. A great little book.

Somehow - I do not expect miracles when it comes to such adaptations - even with great actors like Hoffman, Rickman....it should be a gripping movie nevertheless.

And like you, not sure the book can really be done as a film without major alterations, but we shall see... Yes, yes, yes on the Odorama!
