Perfume The Story of a Murderer
|
| 00:01:18 |
Quick. |
| 00:01:19 |
We can't hold them back much longer. |
| 00:01:24 |
Hurry. |
| 00:01:28 |
- Come on! |
| 00:01:38 |
Quick! |
| 00:01:44 |
Faster! |
| 00:01:58 |
Open the doors. Come on, quickly! |
| 00:02:28 |
Just read them the sentence. |
| 00:02:34 |
The sentence of the court |
| 00:02:38 |
the perfumer journeyman |
| 00:02:43 |
shall be bound to a wooden cross |
| 00:02:46 |
with his face raised toward heaven. |
| 00:02:51 |
And whilst still alive |
| 00:02:53 |
be dealt twelve blows |
| 00:02:59 |
breaking the joints of his arms, |
| 00:03:03 |
his shoulders, |
| 00:03:06 |
his hips, |
| 00:03:07 |
his legs. |
| 00:03:11 |
He shall then be raised up |
| 00:03:15 |
and all customary acts of mercy |
| 00:03:18 |
are expressly forbidden |
| 00:03:31 |
In 18th-century France, |
| 00:03:33 |
there lived a man who was |
| 00:03:35 |
and notorious personages |
| 00:03:39 |
His name was |
| 00:03:43 |
and if his name has been |
| 00:03:46 |
for the reason that his ambition |
| 00:03:50 |
that leaves no trace in history: |
| 00:03:58 |
To the fleeting realm of scent. |
| 00:04:15 |
In the period of which we speak, |
| 00:04:17 |
there reigned |
| 00:04:20 |
barely conceivable to us |
| 00:04:24 |
Naturally, the stench |
| 00:04:27 |
for Paris was |
| 00:04:30 |
And nowhere in Paris was that |
| 00:04:34 |
than in the city's fish market. |
| 00:04:38 |
Here we are. |
| 00:04:42 |
It was here, then, on the most |
| 00:04:46 |
that Jean-Baptiste Grenouille |
| 00:04:48 |
was born |
| 00:05:16 |
It was his mother's fifth birth. |
| 00:05:19 |
She'd delivered them all here |
| 00:05:21 |
and all had been stillbirths, |
| 00:05:25 |
You all right? |
| 00:05:27 |
And the whole mess was shoveled |
| 00:05:32 |
It would be |
| 00:05:35 |
but then, |
| 00:05:37 |
Jean-Baptiste chose differently. |
| 00:06:13 |
What's that noise? |
| 00:06:16 |
- It's a baby. |
| 00:06:22 |
It's a newborn. |
| 00:06:24 |
Where's its mother? |
| 00:06:27 |
She was just here. |
| 00:06:30 |
She tried to kill it. |
| 00:06:34 |
She tried to kill her baby! |
| 00:06:38 |
There! There she is! |
| 00:06:40 |
Stop! Stop where you are! |
| 00:06:41 |
Murderer! |
| 00:06:43 |
Thus, the first sound |
| 00:06:47 |
sent his mother to the gallows |
| 00:06:52 |
and Jean-Baptiste, |
| 00:06:56 |
to the orphanage |
| 00:07:02 |
How many today? |
| 00:07:04 |
Four. Well, three and a half. |
| 00:07:11 |
As usual, more dead than alive. |
| 00:07:14 |
Just take the money and sign. |
| 00:07:24 |
Make room. |
| 00:07:27 |
- Where? |
| 00:07:31 |
Go on, now. |
| 00:07:44 |
Is it dead? |
| 00:08:12 |
That's not staying in my bed. |
| 00:08:15 |
- Let's throw it out, then. |
| 00:08:19 |
Let's just kill it. |
| 00:08:39 |
Harder! Push! |
| 00:08:42 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:08:53 |
For Mme Gaillard, Grenouille was a |
| 00:08:58 |
The children, however, |
| 00:09:00 |
that there was something |
| 00:09:21 |
By the age of five, Jean-Baptiste |
| 00:09:26 |
But he was born with a talent that |
| 00:10:34 |
It was not that the other |
| 00:10:38 |
they felt unnerved by him. |
| 00:10:45 |
Increasingly he became aware that |
| 00:10:49 |
was a gift that had been |
| 00:11:02 |
When Jean-Baptiste |
| 00:11:05 |
he soon found that everyday |
| 00:11:08 |
for all the olfactory experiences |
| 00:11:17 |
Wood. |
| 00:11:25 |
Warm wood. |
| 00:11:27 |
Grass. |
| 00:11:30 |
Wet grass. |
| 00:11:32 |
Stones. |
| 00:11:34 |
Warm stones. |
| 00:11:38 |
Water. |
| 00:11:41 |
Cold water. |
| 00:11:49 |
Frog. |
| 00:11:53 |
Wet stones. |
| 00:11:56 |
Big, wet frog stones. |
| 00:12:01 |
Something. |
| 00:12:04 |
Something. |
| 00:12:06 |
Something. |
| 00:12:09 |
By 13, Mme Gaillard no longer |
| 00:12:14 |
and therefore |
| 00:12:16 |
Come on. |
| 00:12:21 |
Ten francs. |
| 00:12:24 |
From his first breath of the odor |
| 00:12:27 |
Seven, and not one sou more. |
| 00:12:29 |
.... Grenouille knew that |
| 00:12:32 |
would be worth precisely as much |
| 00:12:40 |
Unfortunately for Madame Gaillard, |
| 00:12:46 |
the bargain was short-lived. |
| 00:12:54 |
Life expectancy in the tannery |
| 00:12:59 |
but Jean-Baptiste proved to be |
| 00:13:03 |
He adjusted to his new fate |
| 00:13:05 |
and became a paragon |
| 00:13:08 |
Slaved 15, 16 hours a day, |
| 00:13:14 |
Gradually he became aware |
| 00:13:19 |
where a Utopia of unexplored |
| 00:13:48 |
Grenouille! |
| 00:13:54 |
Come with us. I'm taking you |
| 00:13:58 |
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille |
| 00:14:01 |
He was alive |
| 00:14:03 |
and at last he was |
| 00:14:46 |
He was not choosy. |
| 00:14:48 |
He did not differentiate between |
| 00:14:55 |
at least not yet. |
| 00:15:00 |
He was very greedy. |
| 00:15:02 |
The goal was to possess everything |
| 00:15:09 |
His only condition being, |
| 00:15:15 |
Thousands upon thousands of odors |
| 00:15:19 |
which he dissected into its |
| 00:15:41 |
Grenouille! |
| 00:15:46 |
Come on! |
| 00:15:51 |
Get your ass over here! |
| 00:15:55 |
He needs two dozen skins |
| 00:15:59 |
- Yeah. Yeah. |
| 00:17:08 |
What is it called? |
| 00:17:09 |
"Amor and Psyche", madame. |
| 00:17:13 |
May I try it? |
| 00:17:15 |
If you'll allow me, mademoiselle. |
| 00:17:25 |
Sheer heaven! |
| 00:17:31 |
Monsieur Pelissier, |
| 00:19:11 |
Please, take them. |
| 00:20:03 |
What do you want? |
| 00:20:14 |
Want to buy some? |
| 00:20:29 |
Two for a sou. |
| 00:26:43 |
Next time you run off like that, |
| 00:26:51 |
That night, he could not sleep. |
| 00:26:55 |
The intoxicating power of the |
| 00:26:59 |
why he'd come to his own life |
| 00:27:05 |
The purpose of his miserable |
| 00:27:11 |
He would learn |
| 00:27:14 |
so that never again would he |
| 00:27:43 |
There were about a dozen |
| 00:27:48 |
One of them, the once-celebrated |
| 00:27:52 |
had set up shop in the center of |
| 00:27:56 |
on his arrival in Paris |
| 00:27:59 |
To be sure, at one time in |
| 00:28:04 |
several truly great perfumes, |
| 00:28:10 |
But now Baldini was |
| 00:28:12 |
out of touch, out of fashion, |
| 00:28:14 |
and spent his days waiting for |
| 00:28:20 |
- Chénier! There you are! |
| 00:28:22 |
Put on your wig. |
| 00:28:25 |
Put on your wig! |
| 00:28:28 |
You going out? |
| 00:28:30 |
I wish to retire to my study |
| 00:28:32 |
and do not want to be disturbed |
| 00:28:35 |
Will you be creating a new |
| 00:28:38 |
Correct. For Count Verhamont. |
| 00:28:40 |
He has asked for something like... |
| 00:28:45 |
Amor and Psyche from that swindler |
| 00:28:50 |
Pelissier? |
| 00:28:51 |
Pelissier, that's him. |
| 00:28:55 |
Amor and Psyche! |
| 00:29:01 |
Do you know it? |
| 00:29:02 |
Oh, yes. You can smell it |
| 00:29:06 |
On every street corner. |
| 00:29:09 |
In fact, I just |
| 00:29:14 |
In case you wanted to test it. |
| 00:29:19 |
What on earth makes you think I'd |
| 00:29:24 |
You're right. |
| 00:29:27 |
Actually |
| 00:29:30 |
I believe the head chord |
| 00:29:35 |
Really? And the heart chord? |
| 00:29:39 |
Orange blossom, I believe. |
| 00:29:42 |
And civet in the base chord, |
| 00:29:45 |
but, you know, |
| 00:29:47 |
Well, I couldn't care less |
| 00:29:50 |
- slops into his perfumes. |
| 00:29:53 |
And I am thinking of creating |
| 00:29:57 |
that will cause |
| 00:30:01 |
I'm sure it will, |
| 00:30:04 |
Take charge of the shop, Chénier, |
| 00:30:08 |
Inspiration requires |
| 00:30:53 |
Is there anything else you need? |
| 00:30:56 |
Inspiration, perhaps. |
| 00:30:58 |
Ah, my Giuseppe. |
| 00:31:02 |
You are still |
| 00:32:00 |
Wonderful. |
| 00:32:06 |
He did it again. |
| 00:32:15 |
Lime oil. |
| 00:32:20 |
Orange blossom, |
| 00:32:22 |
to be sure. |
| 00:32:28 |
And a hint of cloves, perhaps. |
| 00:32:32 |
No. |
| 00:32:35 |
Or could be cinnamon? |
| 00:32:38 |
It's gone. |
| 00:32:43 |
Cinnamon. |
| 00:32:45 |
It's not cinnamon. |
| 00:32:51 |
Cloves. |
| 00:32:52 |
No. |
| 00:32:54 |
Musk? |
| 00:32:55 |
No. |
| 00:33:37 |
Who's there? |
| 00:33:38 |
I'm from Grimal's tannery. |
| 00:33:43 |
I've got the goatskins |
| 00:33:51 |
Follow me. |
| 00:33:59 |
This way. |
| 00:34:34 |
There. |
| 00:34:36 |
Lay them there. |
| 00:34:47 |
Tell your master |
| 00:34:49 |
I'll come by in the next |
| 00:34:53 |
Yes, Monsieur. |
| 00:35:00 |
You want to make this leather |
| 00:35:04 |
Why, of course and so it shall. |
| 00:35:07 |
With Amor & Psyche |
| 00:35:14 |
Whatever gave you the absurd idea |
| 00:35:19 |
It's all over you. |
| 00:35:21 |
It's on your forehead, |
| 00:35:23 |
It's bad, Amor & Psyche |
| 00:35:25 |
There's too much rosemary in it. |
| 00:35:27 |
And too much of... |
| 00:35:30 |
that and that. |
| 00:35:35 |
Bergamot and Patchouli? |
| 00:35:38 |
Pat...? |
| 00:35:40 |
Patchouli. |
| 00:35:41 |
Patchouli. |
| 00:35:48 |
What else? |
| 00:35:53 |
That and that. |
| 00:35:56 |
That and that. |
| 00:36:07 |
Orange blossom, |
| 00:36:10 |
lime... |
| 00:36:12 |
- Rosemary. |
| 00:36:17 |
And cloves? |
| 00:36:19 |
And this. |
| 00:36:29 |
- Storax? |
| 00:36:32 |
- Storax. |
| 00:36:42 |
You have, it appears, |
| 00:36:45 |
My nose knows all the smells |
| 00:36:47 |
It's the best nose in Paris, |
| 00:36:50 |
I need to learn the names, |
| 00:36:52 |
No, no, no! |
| 00:36:53 |
You dont interrupt me |
| 00:36:55 |
You are both impertinent |
| 00:36:58 |
Even I don't know every scent. |
| 00:37:03 |
I've, of course, known for some time |
| 00:37:06 |
But all it needs to find that out is |
| 00:37:12 |
But it needs the craft |
| 00:37:17 |
to detect the exact formula, |
| 00:37:19 |
which notes, which chords, |
| 00:37:21 |
and in what precise measurements. |
| 00:37:25 |
Could you tell me the exact |
| 00:37:31 |
Best-nose-in-Paris! |
| 00:37:38 |
Speak up! |
| 00:37:41 |
You see, you can't. Can you? |
| 00:37:42 |
And I'll tell you why. |
| 00:37:45 |
Because talent means |
| 00:37:50 |
while experience acquired |
| 00:37:53 |
in humility and hard work |
| 00:38:01 |
I don't know what a formula is, |
| 00:38:04 |
but I can make Amor & Psyche |
| 00:38:08 |
And you think ljust let you |
| 00:38:11 |
with essential oils |
| 00:38:14 |
You? |
| 00:38:15 |
Yes. |
| 00:38:17 |
Now pay attention! |
| 00:38:21 |
What is your name, anyway? |
| 00:38:25 |
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. |
| 00:38:30 |
Very well, |
| 00:38:34 |
you shall have the opportunity now |
| 00:38:37 |
Your grandiose failure will also |
| 00:38:41 |
to learn the virtue of humility. |
| 00:38:42 |
- How much do you want me to make? |
| 00:38:46 |
How much Amor & Psyche do you want? |
| 00:38:50 |
Shall I fill this flask? |
| 00:38:52 |
No! You shall not! |
| 00:39:04 |
You may fill this one. |
| 00:39:05 |
Yes, Master. |
| 00:39:10 |
But, Master Baldini... |
| 00:39:12 |
You must let me do it in my own way. |
| 00:39:15 |
As you please. |
| 00:39:22 |
No! |
| 00:39:24 |
Don't drop it. That's pure alcohol. |
| 00:39:31 |
You have to measure it first! |
| 00:40:21 |
Stop, stop it! |
| 00:40:23 |
That's enough! |
| 00:40:25 |
You know nothing! |
| 00:40:27 |
Essential oils are always |
| 00:40:30 |
then the alcohol added |
| 00:40:32 |
and never ever is perfume |
| 00:40:35 |
I must have been insane to listen |
| 00:40:41 |
It's all done. |
| 00:41:28 |
This is Amor & Psyche! |
| 00:41:31 |
But it's not |
| 00:41:35 |
If you let me again, Master, |
| 00:42:54 |
Now it's a really good perfume. |
| 00:43:03 |
Don't you want |
| 00:43:05 |
I'm not in the mood |
| 00:43:07 |
I have other things |
| 00:43:12 |
- But, Master... |
| 00:43:30 |
Can I come to work |
| 00:43:35 |
Let me think about it. |
| 00:43:36 |
Master! |
| 00:43:39 |
I have to learn |
| 00:43:43 |
What? |
| 00:43:46 |
Can you teach me that? |
| 00:43:48 |
I shall have to think |
| 00:44:37 |
I love you. |
| 00:44:45 |
I'll give you 50 francs for him. |
| 00:44:55 |
Grenouille! |
| 00:44:57 |
Grimal's transaction |
| 00:44:59 |
had a profound effect |
| 00:45:05 |
Not least upon |
| 00:45:11 |
As for Giuseppe Baldini, |
| 00:45:15 |
miraculously transformed |
| 00:45:18 |
even surpassing its former glory. |
| 00:45:29 |
While at last, for Jean-Baptiste, |
| 00:45:31 |
the mysterious secrets |
| 00:45:35 |
began to unfold. |
| 00:45:42 |
Now, pay careful attention |
| 00:45:45 |
Just like a musical chord, |
| 00:45:49 |
four essences |
| 00:45:50 |
or notes, carefully selected |
| 00:45:54 |
Each perfume contains three chords: |
| 00:45:57 |
The head, the heart and the base, |
| 00:46:00 |
necessitating twelve notes in all. |
| 00:46:03 |
The head chord contains |
| 00:46:05 |
the first impression, |
| 00:46:08 |
before giving way |
| 00:46:10 |
the theme of the perfume, |
| 00:46:14 |
Finally, the base chord, |
| 00:46:17 |
the trail of the perfume, |
| 00:46:25 |
Mind you, the ancient Egyptians |
| 00:46:28 |
a truly original perfume |
| 00:46:32 |
one final essence |
| 00:46:37 |
and dominate the others. |
| 00:46:42 |
Legend has it that an amphora |
| 00:46:46 |
and when it was opened |
| 00:46:50 |
After all those thousands of years, |
| 00:46:53 |
a perfume of such subtle |
| 00:46:57 |
that for one single moment |
| 00:47:00 |
every person on earth believed |
| 00:47:07 |
Twelve essences could be identified, |
| 00:47:10 |
but the 13th, |
| 00:47:13 |
the vital one, |
| 00:47:16 |
could never be determined. |
| 00:47:20 |
Why not? |
| 00:47:23 |
Why not? |
| 00:47:27 |
Because it's a legend, numbskull! |
| 00:47:31 |
What's a legend? |
| 00:47:34 |
Never mind. |
| 00:48:18 |
Jean-Baptiste. |
| 00:48:19 |
Jean-Baptiste? |
| 00:48:26 |
What's the matter? |
| 00:48:28 |
Master, |
| 00:48:30 |
I have to learn |
| 00:48:35 |
What are you talking about? |
| 00:48:37 |
I have to learn |
| 00:48:39 |
and reprise it forever. |
| 00:48:42 |
You mean, preserve. |
| 00:48:43 |
You have to teach me that. |
| 00:48:45 |
All right. |
| 00:48:48 |
Calm down. |
| 00:48:49 |
We have work to do. |
| 00:48:53 |
"The soul of beings is their scent." |
| 00:48:56 |
You said that, master. |
| 00:48:59 |
Did I? |
| 00:49:01 |
I will make you |
| 00:49:03 |
but you have to teach me |
| 00:49:05 |
how to capture |
| 00:49:09 |
Can you do that? |
| 00:49:12 |
Well, naturally. |
| 00:49:14 |
Then teach me |
| 00:49:20 |
and I'll make you the best |
| 00:49:40 |
Imagine, Jean-Baptiste, |
| 00:49:43 |
ten thousand roses to produce |
| 00:49:46 |
one single ounce of essential oil. |
| 00:49:52 |
Now, keep the air flowing or the |
| 00:49:57 |
while I set up the alembic. |
| 00:50:01 |
We have to let them go to their |
| 00:50:23 |
Perfect. |
| 00:50:25 |
Now, help me |
| 00:50:40 |
Temperature is vital. |
| 00:50:42 |
When the quicksilver is here, |
| 00:50:46 |
and the oil will gradually rise. |
| 00:50:51 |
Note this mechanism is a remarkable |
| 00:50:56 |
You will observe how cold water |
| 00:51:00 |
is pumped through here |
| 00:51:05 |
allowing the essence |
| 00:51:08 |
until it finally appears |
| 00:51:14 |
here. |
| 00:51:16 |
Of course, |
| 00:51:20 |
we had only to bellow |
| 00:51:24 |
Ah, Grasse. What a town. |
| 00:51:29 |
The Rome of scents. |
| 00:51:32 |
The Promised Land of perfume. |
| 00:51:36 |
No man can rightly |
| 00:51:41 |
unless he has proved his worth |
| 00:51:48 |
Not to worry. |
| 00:51:52 |
To Grasse. |
| 00:52:12 |
Master. |
| 00:52:14 |
Look. |
| 00:52:21 |
The very soul of the rose. |
| 00:53:17 |
Jean-Baptiste. |
| 00:53:22 |
What's wrong? |
| 00:53:25 |
Jean-Baptiste. |
| 00:53:29 |
What have you done? |
| 00:53:31 |
- You lied. |
| 00:53:34 |
You lied to me. |
| 00:53:36 |
How dare you talk to me like that. |
| 00:53:40 |
You said I could capture |
| 00:53:44 |
And so you can. |
| 00:53:50 |
What do you smell? |
| 00:53:52 |
What do you smell? |
| 00:53:59 |
Nothing. |
| 00:54:03 |
What were you expecting to smell? |
| 00:54:05 |
Glass. |
| 00:54:07 |
But glass doesn't smell. |
| 00:54:09 |
Course it does. |
| 00:54:17 |
I don't smell a thing. |
| 00:54:19 |
It should smell like copper! |
| 00:54:21 |
Enough! |
| 00:54:25 |
You were trying to distill |
| 00:54:29 |
Iron? Glass? Copper? |
| 00:54:37 |
What else did you try? |
| 00:54:42 |
No! |
| 00:54:44 |
Have you gone completely insane? |
| 00:54:48 |
You told me I had to experiment. |
| 00:54:51 |
Experiment? Experiment? |
| 00:54:54 |
But not with the cat. |
| 00:54:59 |
What kind of a human being are you? |
| 00:55:02 |
Don't you know anything? |
| 00:55:04 |
You can no more distill |
| 00:55:06 |
than you can distill |
| 00:55:19 |
I can't? |
| 00:55:21 |
Of course not! |
| 00:55:30 |
He is in stadio ultimo. |
| 00:55:31 |
- What? |
| 00:55:33 |
Is there nothing you can do? |
| 00:55:35 |
- I fear not. |
| 00:55:39 |
Well, my fee is 50 francs. |
| 00:55:41 |
50 francs? |
| 00:55:42 |
You charlatan! |
| 00:55:49 |
No! Jean-Baptiste! |
| 00:55:54 |
You cannot do this to me. |
| 00:55:56 |
Not now. Not yet. |
| 00:56:12 |
Is there |
| 00:56:18 |
any other way |
| 00:56:22 |
to preserve smell |
| 00:56:25 |
Jean-Baptiste? |
| 00:56:32 |
Is there, master? |
| 00:56:34 |
Well, yes, I believe there is. |
| 00:56:39 |
What is it? |
| 00:56:43 |
It is known as the mysterious |
| 00:56:50 |
Can you teach me? |
| 00:56:55 |
Not even I am intimate |
| 00:57:01 |
But could I learn it in Grasse? |
| 00:57:04 |
- Well... |
| 00:57:13 |
Where else but in Grasse? |
| 00:57:23 |
Within a week Grenouille |
| 00:57:25 |
but to travel to Grasse to find |
| 00:57:31 |
Baldini agreed to provide them |
| 00:57:33 |
on condition that |
| 00:57:35 |
not less than one hundred |
| 00:57:40 |
Grenouille did not mind. He |
| 00:57:50 |
The morning of Grenouille's |
| 00:57:54 |
At last, he felt rewarded for |
| 00:57:59 |
He could not remember |
| 00:58:02 |
Deeply satisfied, |
| 00:58:06 |
and awoke no more in this life. |
| 00:58:28 |
With every step he took from |
| 00:58:33 |
The air above him grew |
| 00:58:38 |
and at last he was able |
| 00:58:45 |
There were two ways |
| 00:58:48 |
The first followed the winding |
| 00:58:52 |
while the second lead across |
| 00:58:58 |
The choice was quite easy. |
| 00:59:04 |
Thus his nose led him |
| 00:59:07 |
ever further from mankind, |
| 00:59:10 |
more towards the magnetic pole of |
| 00:59:54 |
Grenouille needed a moment to |
| 00:59:58 |
a spot on earth where scent |
| 01:00:07 |
Spread all around lay nothing but |
| 01:00:15 |
There was something sacred |
| 01:00:22 |
No longer distracted |
| 01:00:25 |
he was finally able to bask |
| 01:00:31 |
and found it splendid. |
| 01:00:42 |
After a while, he almost forgot |
| 01:00:48 |
and, indeed, might have done |
| 01:01:06 |
Hello? |
| 01:01:12 |
Hello? |
| 01:01:16 |
Hello? |
| 01:01:35 |
There were a thousand |
| 01:01:38 |
The smell of sand, |
| 01:01:41 |
Even the smell of the sausage |
| 01:01:44 |
Only one smell was not there. |
| 01:01:50 |
His own. |
| 01:02:28 |
For the first time, Grenouille |
| 01:02:35 |
He realized that all his life |
| 01:02:40 |
What he now felt was the fear |
| 01:02:45 |
It was as though |
| 01:02:54 |
By the first light of next morning, |
| 01:02:59 |
He must continue |
| 01:03:02 |
There he would teach the world |
| 01:03:06 |
that he was someone, |
| 01:03:08 |
but that he was exceptional. |
| 01:03:14 |
And with this decision |
| 01:03:16 |
it seemed that the gods had |
| 01:04:43 |
Go in. |
| 01:07:48 |
Laura? |
| 01:07:57 |
Laura? |
| 01:07:59 |
Coming, Papa. |
| 01:08:38 |
Haven't seen you here before. |
| 01:08:42 |
It's my first season. |
| 01:08:45 |
Picking together |
| 01:08:49 |
They say you pick |
| 01:09:35 |
Idiot! |
| 01:09:36 |
How many times have I told you |
| 01:09:39 |
like you're stuffing a chicken? |
| 01:09:43 |
Watch how Grenouille does it. |
| 01:09:46 |
Look how skillfully |
| 01:09:49 |
The whole art of enfleurage is |
| 01:09:53 |
In their sleep, as it were. |
| 01:09:55 |
Handle them as you would a lady. |
| 01:10:00 |
If you say so, Madame. |
| 01:10:05 |
You. Check the jonquil blossoms. |
| 01:10:11 |
They need more time. |
| 01:10:15 |
Do what I say! |
| 01:11:01 |
Stop it! |
| 01:11:04 |
I'm not in the mood. |
| 01:11:05 |
Are you sure? |
| 01:11:07 |
Of course I'm sure. |
| 01:11:16 |
I said... |
| 01:11:20 |
...no! |
| 01:11:33 |
Suit yourself |
| 01:11:38 |
Lucien? |
| 01:11:42 |
Fetch me back the ladder. |
| 01:11:44 |
Fetch it yourself. |
| 01:11:57 |
Lucien? |
| 01:12:02 |
Lucien! |
| 01:12:14 |
Lucien? |
| 01:12:19 |
Lucien? |
| 01:12:39 |
Lucien? |
| 01:13:38 |
Tuberoses for Madame Arnulfi. |
| 01:13:46 |
She's busy. |
| 01:13:55 |
Seems such a waste to boil them. |
| 01:13:58 |
Or whatever you do with them. |
| 01:14:05 |
So what do you do with them? |
| 01:14:08 |
Warm them in animal fat. |
| 01:14:11 |
- What for? |
| 01:14:15 |
Then what? |
| 01:14:19 |
Then I cool it to a pomade |
| 01:14:23 |
and then I filter it before... |
| 01:14:31 |
Before what? |
| 01:14:33 |
Before I add in alcohol and |
| 01:14:37 |
Don't touch anything. |
| 01:14:44 |
What's in there? |
| 01:14:46 |
Nothing. Just flowers. |
| 01:14:48 |
- Can I look? |
| 01:14:50 |
Not now. I've got work to do. |
| 01:14:52 |
You must go now. |
| 01:14:53 |
- Come on. Let me look. |
| 01:14:55 |
Ah, my tuberoses. |
| 01:14:58 |
Morning, Madame. |
| 01:15:00 |
Morning. |
| 01:15:05 |
Why have you covered the tank? |
| 01:15:08 |
It's an experiment, Madame. |
| 01:15:13 |
To protect the blossoms |
| 01:15:16 |
To preserve the scent better. |
| 01:15:19 |
Well, if you say so. |
| 01:15:22 |
Come with me. I'll settle |
| 01:15:28 |
To preserve |
| 01:15:45 |
I don't smell much. |
| 01:15:53 |
No. Then my experiment |
| 01:16:00 |
Make sure it's your time |
| 01:16:16 |
How much must I pay |
| 01:16:20 |
to be with you? |
| 01:16:22 |
Depends what you want. |
| 01:16:38 |
What's that stuff? |
| 01:16:43 |
I'm creating a perfume. |
| 01:16:48 |
Lie down, please. |
| 01:17:10 |
It feels horrible. |
| 01:17:12 |
It's only animal fat. |
| 01:17:17 |
Creating a perfume, eh? |
| 01:17:19 |
Admit it. You're getting |
| 01:17:23 |
Aren't you? |
| 01:17:26 |
I enjoy my work. |
| 01:17:29 |
Hold your arm still. |
| 01:17:39 |
Don't think |
| 01:17:42 |
Hold out your arm, please. |
| 01:17:52 |
I've come across some |
| 01:17:54 |
Just relax. |
| 01:18:04 |
Holy Mother, what's that?! |
| 01:18:10 |
Just for scraping off the fat. |
| 01:18:12 |
- Are you mad? |
| 01:18:16 |
If you're frightened, you stink. |
| 01:18:20 |
I've had enough. |
| 01:18:23 |
Here, take your money. |
| 01:18:26 |
Basting me up in all this goo. |
| 01:18:30 |
Get out of here! |
| 01:21:58 |
Quickly, blow them out |
| 01:22:01 |
- Roses can't melt, Papa! |
| 01:22:19 |
Now I'd like to propose a toast |
| 01:22:23 |
his Excellency, |
| 01:22:26 |
May our trade |
| 01:22:35 |
I thank you all |
| 01:22:36 |
and would ask of you |
| 01:22:39 |
to offer my congratulations |
| 01:22:42 |
and present her with a small |
| 01:22:52 |
It's beautiful. |
| 01:23:11 |
I'm overwhelmed, your Grace. |
| 01:23:13 |
"Your Grace"? |
| 01:23:15 |
I had hoped that we would be |
| 01:23:22 |
Let's have a game |
| 01:23:24 |
Oh yes! But everyone must play! |
| 01:23:29 |
Let the men catch the women. |
| 01:23:38 |
Albine! Wait! |
| 01:25:09 |
Put me down. Please? |
| 01:25:16 |
Now there's no escape. |
| 01:25:49 |
Game's over, everybody. |
| 01:25:53 |
Laura? |
| 01:25:56 |
Time to go in now. |
| 01:26:22 |
Laura? |
| 01:26:41 |
Albine? Françoise? |
| 01:26:50 |
Laura, have you seen the twins? |
| 01:26:52 |
No, not since the game started. |
| 01:26:57 |
Albine? Françoise? |
| 01:27:10 |
Albine? Françoise? |
| 01:27:13 |
Jacques? |
| 01:27:15 |
Take this way. |
| 01:27:17 |
You two with me. |
| 01:27:18 |
Your Excellency? Through here. |
| 01:27:27 |
Albine! Françoise! |
| 01:28:40 |
I told that cretin ten times |
| 01:28:44 |
Don't keep picking on the boy. |
| 01:28:47 |
I'll kill him, the useless |
| 01:28:50 |
Grenouille! |
| 01:28:52 |
What are you doing? |
| 01:28:54 |
Why aren't the enfleurage |
| 01:29:03 |
Yes, master? |
| 01:29:04 |
I mean, would you be good enough |
| 01:29:13 |
Certainly, master. |
| 01:29:30 |
Acurfew? |
| 01:29:32 |
Are you mad? |
| 01:29:33 |
Jasmine can only be picked |
| 01:29:37 |
This could mean |
| 01:29:40 |
Yours. |
| 01:29:42 |
And yours and yours. |
| 01:29:45 |
Supposing it's your daughter |
| 01:29:49 |
Of course a curfew is necessary, |
| 01:29:53 |
and to do that is to understand |
| 01:29:57 |
I should have thought that |
| 01:30:01 |
And if I were to tell you |
| 01:30:04 |
went to their graves |
| 01:30:07 |
How would you know? |
| 01:30:08 |
The coroner had each girl examined. |
| 01:30:15 |
Supposing there isn't a next time? |
| 01:30:17 |
If we introduce a curfew we |
| 01:30:23 |
So we wait until he's killed, |
| 01:30:26 |
Seven? Eight? |
| 01:30:53 |
Curfew! |
| 01:31:11 |
Gentlemen! |
| 01:31:13 |
Gentlemen! |
| 01:31:14 |
We have to face the fact that our |
| 01:31:19 |
I suggest that we ask |
| 01:31:22 |
Paris won't be smarter than we are. |
| 01:31:24 |
We must arrest every Gypsy |
| 01:31:26 |
And every man without |
| 01:31:28 |
Listen. |
| 01:31:31 |
We have to put ourselves |
| 01:31:36 |
Each of his victims |
| 01:31:40 |
We know he doesn't want |
| 01:31:45 |
that it's their beauty itself |
| 01:31:48 |
It's almost as if he's trying |
| 01:31:51 |
As if his ambitions |
| 01:31:55 |
A collector? Of what? |
| 01:31:58 |
Their hair? |
| 01:32:06 |
Whatever it is, |
| 01:32:11 |
until his collection is complete. |
| 01:32:39 |
Monsieur. |
| 01:32:43 |
This man is a demon. |
| 01:32:47 |
A phantom who cannot be fought |
| 01:32:50 |
Now, I insist that we call upon |
| 01:32:56 |
What good would that do? |
| 01:32:58 |
Have you no faith in the power |
| 01:33:03 |
This is not a matter of faith. |
| 01:33:05 |
There's a murderer out there |
| 01:33:07 |
and we must catch him |
| 01:33:11 |
I say until |
| 01:33:15 |
these killings will not cease. |
| 01:33:33 |
Citizens of Grasse, we hereby |
| 01:33:39 |
this demon in our midst, |
| 01:33:41 |
has incurred the sentence |
| 01:33:47 |
Not only has this depraved monster |
| 01:33:51 |
robbed us of our daughters, |
| 01:33:54 |
the young and fair blossom |
| 01:33:57 |
and by his wanton acts |
| 01:33:59 |
has brought our trade, |
| 01:34:03 |
our very existence, |
| 01:34:06 |
to the brink of eternal darkness. |
| 01:34:11 |
We therefore declare |
| 01:34:13 |
that this vile viper, |
| 01:34:15 |
this ignominious carbuncle, |
| 01:34:19 |
this execrable evil in our midst, |
| 01:34:22 |
shall henceforth be solemnly |
| 01:34:28 |
rejected from the communion |
| 01:34:33 |
as a disciple of Satan, |
| 01:34:36 |
slayer of souls. |
| 01:34:39 |
Stand clear! |
| 01:34:40 |
An infected limb, |
| 01:34:45 |
a necromancer, |
| 01:34:49 |
and a damned heretic. |
| 01:34:53 |
Oh, God, in Thy most |
| 01:34:58 |
bring down thunderbolts |
| 01:35:01 |
and may the Devil |
| 01:35:05 |
Amen. |
| 01:35:08 |
My Lord! It's a miracle! |
| 01:35:11 |
He's been caught! |
| 01:35:15 |
My Lord, the fiend has been caught. |
| 01:35:19 |
In the city of Grenoble. |
| 01:35:21 |
He's confessed to everything. |
| 01:35:23 |
He's confessed to everything! |
| 01:35:27 |
Hallelujah! |
| 01:35:28 |
Hallelujah! |
| 01:35:31 |
Praise be to God! |
| 01:35:33 |
And we thank Him |
| 01:35:35 |
for listening to our prayers |
| 01:35:40 |
Amen. |
| 01:35:43 |
Amen. |
| 01:36:01 |
Just read the report. |
| 01:36:03 |
This cannot possibly |
| 01:36:09 |
He confessed to everything. |
| 01:36:13 |
Yes. Under torture. |
| 01:36:17 |
Look. Here. |
| 01:36:19 |
He admits to strangling |
| 01:36:22 |
pulling out their hair |
| 01:36:25 |
The Grasse girls were killed by |
| 01:36:28 |
their hair was carefully cropped, |
| 01:36:31 |
Antoine, |
| 01:36:34 |
we're all happy it's over. |
| 01:36:37 |
Let it go. |
| 01:37:26 |
- Papa, what's the matter? |
| 01:37:29 |
But why? I'm enjoying myself. |
| 01:37:30 |
- Don't argue with me, Laura. |
| 01:37:41 |
Laura! |
| 01:37:44 |
Laura! |
| 01:37:48 |
Out of my way! |
| 01:37:50 |
Laura! |
| 01:38:48 |
Laura! |
| 01:38:50 |
Papa! |
| 01:38:57 |
I'm so sorry. |
| 01:39:12 |
I know you must think me |
| 01:39:16 |
but try to understand |
| 01:39:20 |
you're all I have left. |
| 01:39:21 |
You don't need to explain, Papa. |
| 01:39:23 |
- If anything were to happen to you... |
| 01:39:27 |
But you must stop worrying |
| 01:39:51 |
Sweet dreams, my love. |
| 01:39:56 |
Sweet dreams, Papa. |
| 01:40:58 |
Laura! |
| 01:41:10 |
Papa, what's the matter? |
| 01:41:17 |
Did you open the window? |
| 01:41:21 |
No. |
| 01:41:22 |
Why? |
| 01:41:26 |
Have this letter dispatched to the |
| 01:42:19 |
Stay on the road north |
| 01:42:40 |
Did Monsieur Richis leave? |
| 01:42:42 |
He did. |
| 01:42:43 |
Which way? |
| 01:42:45 |
North. |
| 01:42:53 |
You sure it wasn't south? |
| 01:42:55 |
I saw them with my own eyes. |
| 01:43:00 |
I said north. North! |
| 01:43:05 |
Grenouille! |
| 01:43:09 |
Grenouille! |
| 01:43:13 |
Grenouille! |
| 01:43:24 |
Grenouille! |
| 01:43:42 |
Good God! |
| 01:44:40 |
Good afternoon, Monsieur. |
| 01:44:42 |
Good afternoon. Do you have |
| 01:44:45 |
No, Monsieur. |
| 01:44:46 |
Then I would like to take |
| 01:44:49 |
It will be our pleasure, Monsieur. |
| 01:44:53 |
And tomorrow, at first light, we wish |
| 01:44:57 |
- It's deserted, just a few monks. |
| 01:45:01 |
Very well, Monsieur. |
| 01:45:07 |
Our finest room, Mademoiselle. |
| 01:45:12 |
With a superb view of the sea. |
| 01:45:15 |
One moment. |
| 01:45:22 |
Very well. |
| 01:45:24 |
Do you have a room next to this one? |
| 01:45:27 |
- Yes, but the view is different. |
| 01:46:25 |
Papa, will you please tell me |
| 01:46:29 |
You haven't said a word all day. |
| 01:46:32 |
Why all this secrecy? |
| 01:46:38 |
Last night I dreamt you were dead, |
| 01:46:42 |
murdered like all the other girls. |
| 01:46:53 |
The truth is, I'm convinced that |
| 01:46:58 |
All of his victims |
| 01:47:01 |
and who is there more beautiful |
| 01:47:05 |
Whatever his insane scheme, |
| 01:47:07 |
it will surely be incomplete |
| 01:47:19 |
I wrote to the Marquis accepting |
| 01:47:22 |
and requesting that it take place |
| 01:47:26 |
Until then you will stay |
| 01:47:31 |
And all this because |
| 01:47:35 |
- I've made my decision. |
| 01:47:38 |
I'm afraid the circumstances |
| 01:47:41 |
- Papa! |
| 01:53:33 |
On your feet. |
| 01:54:22 |
Why did you kill my daughter? |
| 01:54:28 |
Why? |
| 01:54:33 |
I needed her. |
| 01:55:01 |
Why did you kill my daughter? |
| 01:55:07 |
I just... |
| 01:55:12 |
needed her. |
| 01:55:21 |
Very well. |
| 01:55:25 |
But remember this. |
| 01:55:33 |
I will be looking at you |
| 01:55:38 |
when you are laid on the cross |
| 01:55:40 |
and the twelve blows |
| 01:55:47 |
And when the crowd has finally tired |
| 01:55:50 |
of your screams and wandered home, |
| 01:55:53 |
I will climb up through your blood |
| 01:56:00 |
and sit beside you. |
| 01:56:04 |
I will look deep into your eyes |
| 01:56:09 |
and drop by drop |
| 01:56:13 |
I will trickle my disgust into them |
| 01:56:19 |
like burning acid, |
| 01:56:24 |
until |
| 01:56:29 |
finally |
| 01:56:34 |
you perish. |
| 01:58:36 |
Unchain the prisoner. |
| 01:58:49 |
That's enough. |
| 01:58:52 |
Let him be brought to the scaffold. |
| 01:58:59 |
What's that? |
| 02:00:15 |
He's over there. |
| 02:02:06 |
This man is innocent! |
| 02:02:14 |
He is innocent! |
| 02:03:40 |
An angel! |
| 02:03:42 |
This is no man! |
| 02:03:44 |
This is an angel! |
| 02:09:47 |
Grenouille! |
| 02:09:55 |
You can't fool me! |
| 02:10:46 |
Forgive me, |
| 02:10:54 |
my son. |
| 02:11:59 |
The people of Grasse |
| 02:12:04 |
For many of them, |
| 02:12:08 |
so completely inexplicable and |
| 02:12:12 |
that they literally erased it |
| 02:12:16 |
The town council was |
| 02:12:19 |
and an order was passed |
| 02:12:22 |
to immediately begin fresh |
| 02:12:27 |
The following day, |
| 02:12:30 |
It was in his back yard that they |
| 02:12:35 |
After fourteen hours of torture, |
| 02:12:42 |
With that, the case was closed. |
| 02:12:49 |
By then, Grenouille was already |
| 02:12:57 |
He had enough perfume left to |
| 02:13:02 |
He could walk to Versailles |
| 02:13:05 |
He could write the Pope a letter, |
| 02:13:11 |
He could do all this |
| 02:13:14 |
He possessed a power stronger |
| 02:13:17 |
or terror, or death. |
| 02:13:20 |
The invincible power to command |
| 02:13:31 |
There was only one thing |
| 02:13:34 |
It could not turn him |
| 02:13:37 |
who could love and be loved |
| 02:13:40 |
So, to hell with it, he thought. |
| 02:13:43 |
To hell with the world, |
| 02:13:45 |
with the perfume, |
| 02:13:47 |
with himself. |
| 02:13:51 |
On the 25th of June, 1766, |
| 02:13:54 |
around 11 o'clock at night, |
| 02:13:57 |
Grenouille entered the city |
| 02:14:00 |
and like a sleep-walker, |
| 02:14:02 |
his olfactory memories drew him |
| 02:15:29 |
An angel! |
| 02:15:34 |
I love you! |
| 02:16:23 |
Within no time, |
| 02:16:26 |
had disappeared from |
| 02:16:29 |
When they had finished, they |
| 02:16:35 |
Forthe first time |
| 02:16:38 |
they believed that they |
| 02:16:41 |
purely out of love. |
| 02:17:16 |
- Ey, over here! |
| 02:17:26 |
Look, a jacket! |
| 02:17:28 |
Let's take them all home. |
| 02:27:16 |
