Well, i read half the book- o.k but the fact i didn't finish it says something. The film ending surprised me, but i can only wonder what its message was. 

*SPOILER*
It's ok to murder lots of women if you create a scent that will astound a small crowd and then you die? (not much of a reward/outcome). Women have the most angelic scent- the essence of woman is truly celestial? 

Maybe the film is not to be sniffed at but no great shakes either. 6/10.
