The Perfume of the Lady in Black is a very interesting French crime comedy. The movie happens to be fast with an old cult touch to it! The movie follows quite a simple plot which is based on the novel by Gaston Leroux. Bruno Podalydes, the director of the film, has done a wonderful job as he wins complete attention of the viewer. The film consists of two stories that follow one another. First is Rouletabille’s long-awaited reunion with his parents and the second is another crime to be solved at the castle where his mother is staying. Denis plays the lead role supported by the brilliant photographer Sainclair, played by Jean-Noël Brouté. The acting is again top class. The cinematography by Christophe Beaucarne too is of high standards largely due to the wise use of the brilliant locals in and around the sea. The movie is crisp for 115 minutes and a non-stop entertainer.
