What critics compared The Princess and the Warrior to
It's based on Patrick Suskind's weirdo novel, and it's from German director Tom Tykwer (who made the groovy Run Lola Run and The Princess and the Warrior), so I kind of had my hopes up.
Tykwer is an incredible visualist ("The Princess and the Warrior," "Heaven," "Run Lola Run"), and "Perfume" reaches such operatic, hand-painted heights of life and death, sections of the film look as though they were pulled from the walls of an art gallery.
