With a premise similar to Blindness, Perfect Sense is about humanity's senses being extinguished one by one, and as with Blindness, the root cause is never revealed, or else is metaphysical. This is both background and foreground to a romance between the leads, an epidemiologist played by Eva Green and a chef played by Ewan McGregor. The film is a testament to humanity's ability to adapt to these peculiar losses - which individuals have endured, if not entire populations like this - and does its best to take away the audience's ability to perceive these senses as well, through word choice, lyrical montage, and sound design. The crescendo at the end is amazing. A beautiful and appropriately sensual film experience, and aside from equally powerful grace notes, different enough to Blindness to make both watchable days apart without either feeling redundant. A real surprise given the stock DVD cover, which makes it look like a generic thriller.
What a remarkable Sci-Fi!
I was wrong, thinking that this film would be romantic love story... it's really MORE.
Sometimes even creepy....
But so exciting and... touching. Tweaking my brain a lot...
Impression was like - Uuuh...
LIFE! in a way of "Perfect Sense".

Completa mancanza di sensibilità nei confronti degli esseri viventi non umani sia in cucina, sia nei laboratori. Mi ritrovo ad odiare i personaggi.Il film sarebbe alquanto deprimente perché

The scariest film I've ever seen.thyron
Incredible that this should be on no list. Great movie experience.geebutts
Ewan and Eva make such a beautiful couple. A striking and memorable film.Petrux
Very boring, a movie that doesn't give anything to the word "cinema". I recommend to read the book "Ensaio sobre a cegueira" from José Saramago.AdrianaN
