TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The Fish Market scenes were shot in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. Two and a half tons of fish and one ton of meat was used over the course of the shoot, and people as far away as six miles reported a bad smell in the air.

The production team scouted eight different countries in Europe looking for the best place to represent eighteenth century Paris, before settling on Barcelona, Spain.

During pre-production, Tom Tykwer, Director of Photography Frank Griebe, Production Designer Uli Hanisch, and Costume Designer Pierre-Yves Gayraud studied the complete works of Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Joseph Wright, in order to ensure this movie's aesthetic correctly captured eighteenth century France.

As of 2006, it is the most expensive German movie ever made.

According to the official website, this movie featured sixty-seven speaking roles, five thousand two hundred extras, and one hundred two sets. Behind the scenes, five hundred twenty technicians were employed.

Popular Dialogues

"Narrator: He still had enough perfume left to enslave the whole world if he so chose. He could walk to Versailles and have the king kiss his feet. He could write the pope a perfumed letter and reveal himself as the new Messiah. He could do all this, and more, if he wanted to. He possessed a power stronger than the power of money, or terror, or death - the invincible power to command the love of man kind. There was only one thing the perfume could not do. It could not turn him into a person who could love and be loved like everyone else. So, to hell with it he thought. To hell with the world. With the perfume. With himself."

"Narrator: For the first time in his life, Grenouille realized that he had no smell of his own. He realized that all his life he had been a nobody to everyone. What he now felt was the fear of his own oblivion. It was as though he did not exist."
