Perfume: The Story of a Murderer Tom Tykwer Based on Patrick Suskind's bestselling historical horror novel, director Tom Tykwer (Run, Lola, Run) translates this sensual story to the screen with the help of brilliant actors Ben Whishaw, Dustin Hoffman, and Alan Rickman. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Whishaw) is a French peasant endowed with the world's keenest sense of smell, yet has no odor of his own. This connoisseurship of scents lands him an apprenticeship with master perfume maker Baldini (Hoffman), but his human lack leads him down a murderous path. "This is a dark, dark, dark film, focused on an obsession so complete and lonely it shuts out all other human experience" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Germany/France/Spain, 2006, 147 mins. In English. DVD | $44.95
The Princess and the Warrior Tom Tykwer Tom Tykwer reunites with his Run Lola Run star, Franka Potente, for another memorable, highly stylized story about unexpected twists of fate.

Winter Sleepers Tom Tykwer Made before Run Lola Run, Tom Tykwer's second feature has all the visual excitement of his breakthrough film, but it is put to use in a far more enigmatic, and in many ways richer, story. A car crash following a spur-of-the-moment joyride leads to unexpected consequences for five residents of a small skiing village. As their lives connect, their needs, motivations and secrets come to the surface. Ultimately it is each character's self-knowledge or lack thereof, that decides their fate. A strange and compelling film, with strong performances from a charismatic and attractive cast. In German with English subtitles. Germany, 1997, 124 mins. DVD | $44.95
