This presentation was presented during a class on the concept of artistic approriation. In my presentation I explored the possibility of approprating the synaesthetic metaphors in the book \'perfume\' by Patrick Süskind, into film. By comparing one passage of the text with how Tom Tywker presented that passage in his film, I come to the conclusion that synaesthetic metaphors are possible in film as well. Athough in this case, the metaphors from the book, were not literally translated.
