This is a dark, dark, dark film, focused on an obsession so complete and lonely it shuts out all other human experience. You may not savor it, but you will not stop watching it, in horror and fascination.

...[Tykwer rammer] i udvalgte scener perfekt bogens evne til at beskrive dufte – og som en ægte filminstruktør gør han det med filmen som middel.

...är en ganska mysig helkvällsföreställning, en sån där film som man kan halvsova till och ändå begripa.
