I was surprised and delighted by this film. Tykwer knows he can't share the scents with his audience, so he heightens sound and visual detail to evoke smell without ever resorting to a kind of colored smoke drifting into someone's nostrils like a Tom and Jerry cartoon. The character surprised me, with his lack of dialogue, with his complexity of character, and the frustration of my emotions... then the end finishes with one scene in particular that was incredible. This film is CINEMATIC just as all films ought to be, surprising and fresh... new. I felt that I experienced something new and I LOVE that. That's why Tykwer earns himself a 5 star review.
