Product Description

Al Pacino delivers the performance of a lifetime in Scent of a Woman, the heart-wrenching and heart-warming film that was nominated for 4 Academy Awards® including Best Picture. Hoping to earn extra money over the Thanksgiving weekend, Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell), a scholarship student at an exclusive prep school, agrees to look after blind, retired Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade (Pacino). The innocent and reserved Simms is immediately thrown off guard by Slade's bullying personality. Charlie is in for even more surprises when Slade takes off for a wild weekend in New York City that will change the lives of both men forever. Pacino won his first Academy Award® playing the bitter yet brilliant blind man whose self-destructive nature hides a deep concern for his young guardian, as well as an old-fashioned romantic flair that makes him one of the most endearing and unforgettable characters to ever grace the screen.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's about life and how we face it
    Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2025

    Slade (Pacino) did what many of us do where we hit life head on making bold choices but then having to live with the results. Slade is at the end of his life and is tired of suffering for it especially since he made them because of his ego. Charlie is at one of those crossroads at the beginning of life. So basically we have young Charlie and old Charlie facing off against each other. Mixed in are some great Pacino scenes in a lifetime of great scenes (too often being remembered just for the mafia roles which are only a small part of his many great roles ie "Attica! Attica"for one). Is it as good as his classic roles, maybe, but it's the entire movie and when he's on screen it's powerful and worth seeing. This was my first time seeing this and I'm 69. I always meant to watch it but i've never been a big Pacino fan and like so many just remember his mafia roles. I'm not sure the rest of the movie is on his level of acting.

    I’ve basically been totally turned off by all mafia related movies so I tend to not want to watch movies by actors that portrayed mafia types and that also would include Pacino, but I think as maybe many do he had a great performance in here and I know everybody’s walking around in. This can be a sign of a very popular and great movie that people walk around and repeat a certain liner lines in the movie so people are walking around going Whooah. The movie does seem pretty long but when you think about what you’re watching and all that time it makes sense and the whole thing just turned out right and was a blast to watch.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended! A Timeless Coming of Age Film, Marvelous Acting
    Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021

    The Scent of a Woman is a film about the relationship between high school senior Charlie and the blind Lieutenant he is hired to care for over the weekend in order to help him pay for a trip home for Christmas. Charlie is on scholarship at a fancy private high school. He has gotten in a moral predicament at school because he and another boy witnessed a prank on the dean and there will be consequences if he doesn't fink on those students with the teacher even threatening his chances of going to Harvard. Meanwhile, at his new job over the weekend the blind Lieutenant is not very likable but the niece who hired Charlie and whose house her uncle lives in, insists he's the best man for the job and convinces him to stay. When they leave on vacation, Charlie is surprised that the Lieutenant has bought them both tickets to New York for the weekend. The movie is about what plays out on that trip AND what happens in the end when Charlie goes back to school.

    The movie is so titled because the Lieutenant, though he cannot see, can tell a woman's perfume by her scent.

    This is an excellent film from 1992. Al Pacino won the academy award for best actor for this movie ('93). He certainly deserved it. His acting here is phenomenal. Chris O'Donnell is also really great in his role as Charlie.

    Though this film is rated "R", it is pretty clean for the modern generation in my opinion (there is no nudity, sex scenes, or drug use but there is talk of rated R activities, some violence, and foul language).

    Also, Philip Seymour Hoffman is in this movie as a young man in high school. I did not recognize him at all. When I saw the cast list I wondered who he was in the movie. He plays, George Jr., the boy who gets into trouble with the main character, Charlie. The film is actually a remake of an Italian movie and novel.

    There were some technical glitches in my viewing particularly in the gun scene. I haven't had any other incidences like that on Amazon and I'm wondering if something is wrong with the video. If so, I hope they fix it. Otherwise, it was easy to watch and despite the static in that scene I don't feel like I missed anything in the movie.

    In conclusion, this is an excellent coming of age film. I do recommend it.

    𝑶𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓, 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓!

    Scent of a Woman is a 1992 American drama film produced and directed by Martin Brest that tells the story of a preparatory school student (Charlie) who takes a job as an assistant to an irritable, blind, medically retired Army lieutenant colonel (Frank).

    Harnessing almost ‘buddy-cop’ like energy, the characters and their individual peculiarities - particularly, that of Frank - are a loose conglomeration of traits found in real people. A week after having seen 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒖𝒎𝒐 𝒅𝒊 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 (1974) (A film by Dino Risi that this one is a remake of) screenwriter Bo Goldman found himself being reminded of his brother - who, at the time was residing in a luxurious apartment in New York City despite being well over a year behind in rent for it; his brother’s knack for smooth-talking was mixed alongside two people Goldman was reportedly afraid of (these being his first sergeant in the Army and his own father) with their assortment of inimical features giving birth to Frank as a real zinger of a protagonist when compared to the likes of his inexperienced but agreeably naïve Aid. Despite the fact that Frank is very set in his ways and Charles' influence in his life is seemingly transient, Goldman's script manages to underscore their unique differences while bringing them closer together in a relatively logical manner.

    Logical as it may be - this doesn't prevent ‘Scent of a Woman’ from feeling muddled or overzealous in regards to how it makes two separate storylines converge towards a common point of interest. For what it's worth: just about every single element involving Frank can be traced back to both Risi’s film and the novel of which Risi was originally inspired by ( this being 𝑰𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒐 𝒆 𝒊𝒍 𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒆, by Giovanni Arpino). The primary alternations are in how the subject of suicide is approached - which is more or less implied as opposed to explicitly spoken about in Goldman’s script - and the extent of which Frank's demeanor is affected by a potential lover or fellow Army service number (which, are scrapped in this remake so as to avoid including points of exposition that are irrelevant to Goldman’s specific context).
    The secondary connection between this adaption and the original material(s) is the mere inclusion of Frank’s aide - but this character’s prospects for development is taken further by giving Charlie an entire plot of his own for viewers to feel engaged with. In many ways it works as this takes remedial attention away from Frank's compulsive drive towards death on his own terms, but the overall conclusion and investment these characters are meant to have in each other as a whole does feel a bit contrived or forced. This is excavated by decisions made throughout that are not always the easiest to follow in combination with legal proceedings where the voice of reasoning (in more of a moral sense than anything else) is simultaneously counterintuitive.
    (TLDR: The overall life lesson is…..#Dontbeasnitch. Feel free to #colormeconfused.)

    Pacino's performance has been the target of both countless accolades and criticism alike. A seasoned method actor, Pacino's spent a copious amount of time with members of New York’s Associated Blind and the Lighthouse Guild, who took it upon themselves to provide insight regarding the experience of blindness from both a psychological and technical standpoint. The dedication to his role - which included learning various adaptive techniques that blind individuals may use to explore and navigate their surroundings - is beyond palpable with a cadence that is uninviting and a stare capable of looking into the souls of unsuspecting audience members (I am almost positive that the total amount of times he blinks can be counted on two hands, total). Some have complained that ‘Scent of a Woman’ unfairly perpetuates myths related to the way specific senses change when one is lost, but Frank's ability to “smell a beautiful woman” ( amongst other things) are referred to intermittently in Risis’ screenplay. Additionally, there is some concern that ‘Scent of a Woman’ goes to great lengths to imply that its protagonist’s bitter exterior and suicidal tendencies are solely due to his impairment, but brief references to his traumatic experiences in addition to addressing his behavior aforementioned to them help expand on the complexity of Frank's unique situation in a tactful and easily-accepted manner.

    ‘Scent of a Woman’ is layered both elegantly and excessively; Goldman’s writing successfully reaches beyond first impressions and surface layer assumptions, but the possibility of growth or change are shown through a variety of scenarios that are at times completely unnecessary (ie - the test driving scene) in terms of length and can make for a bit of a slog. Aromatic and lingering, ‘Scent of a Woman’s fragrance overstays its welcome with an intensity that is equally short-lived.

    Huah, Filmfreunde!

    Heute einer meiner Top 20 Filme !

    Plot:
    Der blinde verbitterte Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Al Pacino) hat den jobsuchenden Stipendiat Charlie (Chris O`Donell) zu seinem eigenen Schutz an Thanksgiving am Hals. So nimmt er sich dessen an und weist ihn in den Duft der Frauen ein.
    Charlie wird sein Jünger und soll mit ihm eine Tour durch das süße Leben in New York City machen. Charlie erzählt, währendessen von einem Dilemma in dem er steckt und der Col. steht ihn mit Rat zur Seite.
    Eine ungewöhnliche Freundschaft beginnt und da stellt sich schon heraus, dass der Col. sich das Leben nehmen will...

    Pacino gibt hier seine Beste Leistung ab und hat sich somit für die Ewigkeit manifestiert. O`Donell spielt zwar sehr gut aber steht im Schatten Pacinos. Slades Art mit Frauen umzugehen oder ihre Namen und ihr Aussehen aufgrund ihres Eau de Toilette zu erfahren ist einzigartig.
    Die Szenen in denen die Vorzüge der Frau gelobt werden, die Tango Szene und das fulminante Finale machen diesen Film, auf jeden Fall, sehenswert. Ich habe leider das italienische Original "Il Profumo di Donna" noch nicht gesehen, wäre aber auf jeden Fall gespannt ihn zu sehen, falls es ihn irgendwann mal in Deutschland zu kaufen gibt.

    Fazit:
    Dieses zitierwürdige Meisterwerk voller Weisheiten, romantischen Aspekten im Bezug auf Frauen und viel Gefühl, erfüllt immer wieder mein Herz.
    Ist zudem in meinen Top 20 vertreten und somit empfehlenswert.
