I agree. And I also think
that the search for identity, which we all have,
is absolutely central to what the story is,
and I think that is why it appeals to so many people, because if you smell

I agree. And I also think
that the search for identity,
00:00:04.414 --> 00:00:07.379
which we all have,
is absolutely central
00:00:07.483 --> 00:00:09.345
to what the story is,
and I think that is why
00:00:09.448 --> 00:00:10.586
it appeals to so many people,
00:00:10.069 --> 00:00:13.345
because if you smell
your own skin,
00:00:13.448 --> 00:00:15.069
not unlike
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille,
00:00:15.793 --> 00:00:19.621
I think it's hard to know
what your own scent is like,
00:00:19.724 --> 00:00:21.207
