The "Perfume" novel is a good read. And the film honors the novel quite well. Especially the ending. Shades of "Stranger in a Strange Land" anybody?

Oh, "Perfume" is brilliant! I have it on dvd, it's a part of my Alan Rickman-collection. I adored that man, may he rest in peace. That movie is gorgeous, and I love that you can practically smell it too, from the filth on the streets to the sweet perfumes. The book it's based on is great too!

Emma... your channel is invaluable!!!! I had never heard of "Perfume" before... and having just watched it, I cannot rate this movie highly enough!!!! It's absolutely fantastic, the cinematography is simply stunning and the story and acting all round is just brilliant!!! Thanks sooo much for introducing me to this dark macabre film. Much love from the UK 😍

Perfume is stunning. One of my favorites of 2006. The House That Jack Built can also be read as a twisted semi-autobiographical film from Lars von Trier.

Here’s some weird/unexpected movies that aren’t actually traumatic (though some have dark themes): • Greener Grass • Freeway • Eega • Brigsby Bear • Society • Titane (Wholesome for a movie about a murderer with a car kink) • Daniel Isn’t Real • Flesh For Frankenstein • The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover • They Cloned Tyrone

I come for the horror, I stay for the disturbing. Thank you for these lists. Of the ones you’ve mentioned, I’ve only seen THTJB. And man, even on a Lars Von Trier scale, that film was disturbing. A film that doesn’t come up often, but is very disturbing is Larry Clark’s “Bully”. 22 years later and I still can’t shake that film.

I remember Roger Ebert saying that Bully should be mandatory viewing for all high school students. I couldn't agree more - along with Requiem for a Dream. Great stuff. :)

I love your disturbing lists. Thanks so much. Perfume is an amazing film and faithful to the novel. If i may...i would recommend to watch After Lucia..its a brutal disturbing Mexican film about teenage bullying. I was watching nothing bad can happen ,which you recommended recently, and the chicken scene made me think of a particular scene involving a cake in this film. I think youd really like it and its one great example of dark Mexican cinema. Bajo la sal (under the salt) is another great example of this.

I think I might be one of the very few people who hated Perfume. I saw it around 2007-2008, and I just couldn't wait for it to be over, so I could do literally anything else. I have to admit though, that sometimes my enjoyment of a movie can depend, greatly, on the mood I'm in. So maybe I need to give it another shot?

Little Children is another one for the list! It stars Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Connolly, Jackie Earle Haley. Killing Them Softly starring Brad Pitt is another one that is kind of disturbing as well. Bernie starring Jack Black, Matthew McConnaughey & Shirley Maclaine is a dark comedy/ docudrama...it's dark comedy but it's a bit disturbing, as it's based on a true case.

Yet, in the same breath they keep asking why people aren't supporting Indie movies. Guess what, we only hear about Disney and never anything else. That's why I love channels like this. It's a place that cares about other movies. We need to turn KZbin into this, a place where we can learn about movies we don't know about, so we can give our support and money to where it belongs.
