Yes, it is. The movie 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' is based on a novel which was inspired by the real - life case of a serial killer. However, it also contains a lot of fictional elements added for the sake of the story.
It's purely fictional. The plot and characters of 'Perfume: Story of a Murderer' were imagined by the author and have no basis in real events. It's a work of imagination and creativity.
It's a novel that likely revolves around a murderer and is somehow related to perfume. Maybe the murderer has a strange connection to perfume, like using it to cover his tracks or it being a key part of his motives.
It depends. Sometimes it's available on certain subscription-based streaming services, but sometimes it might not be. You could check specific platforms to see if it's currently offered.
There is the murderer, who is the central figure. His abnormal sense of smell makes him unique. And there are also the victims, young women whose scents he desires. Their presence in the story is crucial as they are the source of the scents for his perfume - making obsession.
One common theme is redemption. Many fanfictions try to explore if the murderer can be redeemed in some way, either through self - discovery or the influence of other characters.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read the novel. But likely there is the murderer as a main character, and perhaps there are characters like the victims, detectives or people related to the perfume industry.
I think you have a good chance of finding it on online movie rental services. Sometimes, it might even be shown on free movie websites, but be careful of the legality and quality on those.
