Query: Bizarre and awful

Perhaps the most misbegotten film in recent memory, "Perfume" veers from period melodrama to "Silence of the Lambs" slasher to bad acid trip, with a final detour into a road production of "Oh Calcutta." The director seems not to know what kind of film he wants to make, so he allows some usually good actors to flounder around and make fools of themselves. Dustin Hoffman thinks he's remaking "Hook," Alan Rickman thinks he's in a BBC production of "Emma" and the women think they're doing a Chanel perfume ad. The lead actor is pretty to look at and has perfected a constipated expression that's supposed to be a dark secret, but every time he opens his mouth he sounds like he's auditioning for "Oliver" with a broad Cockney accent that's completely out of place. Nothing in most of the film prepares you for the ending, which is out-and-out laughable. A sad waste of money and a mostly talented cast.
