Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Directed by Tom Tykwer of Run, Lola, Run (Lola rennt) and The Princess and the Warrior (Krieger und die Kaiserin, Der)
Hey Everyone -
Hope you are all having a good weekend so far. Still busting my ass getting this work done but its all good. So I usually don't unleash my movie geekness on here but I came across a new film today that I am excited to see how it pans out. And of course, the winter season is coming up soon and is usually the time that our best movies for the year arrive in theaters. So... as I was doing my routine flip through the Apple Movie trailers website I instantly saw a beautiful designed movie poster that caught my eye. Since the Poster was so small I thought I would post a screen capture of the art for the trailer site itself since it is very similar:
Beautiful work for whoever did design this. Great use of flourishes,Typographic style, feeling, tone and color, and genourosity in open negative spacing... It's so easy for a Graphic Designer to fall back onto design cliches such as Victorian over abundance or Art Noveu themes; wisely the designer stuck with simple = elegant and cold tones aggrivating feelings or morbidity as well as mixed tones with reds for feelings of passion, desire, and even murder... (gahhh Geeked a little there, lol). Anyways, so a good movie poster is always worth a look at the movie trailer itself, by my standards anyway.
At first I was like, blahh... another period film (not always my thing unless its really well done). But as soon as I noticed Tom Tykwer was directing it I knew I was on board for at least seeing it once. For all of you who don't know who Tom Tykwer is, he directed Run, Lola, Run and The Princess and the Warrior both of which were really good movies. And a side note, he even composed most of the music for each of these films as well as the trailer below. If you can handle foreign films then I suggest picking one of these two up sometime when you're in the mood.
So, back to the trailer... The first portion of the trailer I was thinking, OK seems sort of odd for his styling. But as the second half of the trailer hit I felt the speed and styling that is so familiar to his other films. I've heard the novel is really good as well, but not much of a novel reader myself. The concept has a great feel to it and actually really captured my attention. This is a film I will probably see in the theater barring that I don't hear horrible reviews prior to its release. But hey, at least it has a nice poster, lol.
OK back to work for me. Hope to be back in chat soon. As soon as I get this shit done I'll be able to have a little more free time to do the things I want to do. Miss you all.

Oh! and PS: I really recommend viewing the trailer at the apple site at the max size you can (HD if your comp can handle it). There is something about the color and intensity of the film that lends it a great deal of beauty. Here is the link: Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.
