What's left behind the scenes

  • Tim Burton and Ridley Scott were both considered as potential directors for "Perfume."
  • Among those who aspired to direct "Perfume," Martin Scorsese and Miloš Forman are noteworthy. Stanley Kubrick also considered adapting the novel for the screen, but ultimately concluded that Patrick Süskind's work was unfilmable.
  • For many years, Patrick Süskind refused producer Bernd Eichinger's requests to acquire the film rights to the novel. It was only in 2001 that the parties were able to reach an agreement. The price was 10 million euros.
  • As is well known, Patrick Süskind was extremely skeptical about the film adaptation of his cult novel. His experience dealing with Bernd Eichinger and other enterprising producers desperately trying to acquire the adaptation rights was depicted in the satirical film "Rossini" (1997). Süskind wrote the screenplay for this film himself, with the main character being the eccentric writer Jacob Windisch. The character of Oskar Reuter was modeled after Bernd Eichinger. Most of the other characters in "Rossini" are caricatures of representatives of the Munich media business.
  • The film's budget (50 million euros) was the highest in the entire history of German cinema at that time.
  • Top model Ruslana Korshunova, who tragically died later, auditioned for the role of the main character.
  • In the scene of the prostitute's murder in Grace, we clearly see Jean-Baptiste cutting off her hair (which Drew later finds buried in the workshop), however, when the police remove the body in the morning, a clump of black hair is dangling from the stretcher.
  • Among those who wanted to direct “Perfume” were Martin Scorsese and Miloš Forman. Stanley Kubrick also considered adapting the novel for the screen but ultimately came to the conclusion that Patrick Süskind’s work was not suitable for filming.
  • For many years, Patrick Süskind refused producer Bernd Eichinger’s requests to acquire the film rights to the novel. It was only in 2001 that the parties were able to reach an agreement. The price was 10 million euros.
  • Before settling on Spanish Barcelona, the film crew traveled through eight countries in search of a city that could pass for Paris in the 18th century.
  • Scenes at the Fish Market were filmed in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. 2.5 tons of fish and a ton of meat were brought in for the filming, and passersby complained about the stench even from a distance of almost 10 km from the Gothic Quarter.
  • The orgy scene was filmed in Barcelona, and the shooting took over a week. The scene involved 750 people, who were assisted by 40 makeup artists, and 35 costume design assistants were constantly on hand.
  • Director and screenwriter Tom Tykwer believed that the orgy scene needed to be carefully scripted and staged, so he invited the Spanish theater group «La Fura Dels Baus». He selected 50 principal performers from its members, who were positioned directly in front of the cameras, and then another 100 people for the background and periphery. Together with 600 extras, these 150 performers made up the total number involved in the scene – 750 people.
  • Among those who wanted to direct “The Perfume” were Martin Scorsese and Miloš Forman. Stanley Kubrick also considered adapting the novel for the screen, but ultimately came to the conclusion that Patrick Süskind’s work was unfilmable.
  • For many years, Patrick Süskind refused producer Bernd Eichinger’s request to acquire the rights to film the novel. It was only in 2001 that the parties were able to reach an agreement. The price was 10 million euros.
  • Before giving the go-ahead for costume creation, Pierre-Yves Guero spent 15 weeks studying costumes from the corresponding historical period. A total of over 1,400 costumes were created. When they arrived from Bucharest, the costumes still needed to be “aged” and slightly dirtied (so they wouldn't look brand new). Tom Tykwer insisted that the actors and actresses actually wear the appropriate costumes and dresses and not take them off for several days in a row (and even sleep in them, as was customary in that era).
