The reviews I've read have been good so it should be a good time, I think I'll see it tomorrow.
And yes that's Ben's nose on my avatar. I loved PERFUME and became a Ben fan after seeing it.
I've seen Ben on stage in London (the first production of
His Dark Materials at the National Theatre in 2003) and his very young
Hamlet (directed by Trevor Nunn at the Old Vic in 2004).
I didn't see
Perfume. It just seemed--hmm. Ben is an odd egg. Not every one's cup of tea--not mine, anyway, that's for sure. But that's what makes this old world turn around, no?
Good luck, all, with Brideshead. I can't believe it will be even slightly worthwhile, but--maybe the costumes are interesting.
And there's always Oxford--and Christ Church!
