PERFECT SENSE Director: DAVID MACKENZIE 92 minutes| Germany-U.K.-Sweden-Denmark| 2011| Colour| D-Cinema Book cinema tickets While Hollywood lavishes CGI spectacle on sundry doomsday scenarios, this enterprising but modest production takes an altogether simpler route to imagining the worst and bringing out the best in people in the process. Ewan McGregor’s a chef whose kitchen is just opposite the flat owned by medical researcher Eva Green, a busy girl battling to find a cure for a mystery global virus which deprives victims of their sensory perceptions. He’s a commitment-phobic womaniser, she’s prickly and reserved, but love strikes just as everything which makes them human could be taken away from them. Director David Mackenzie (Young Adam) manages quite a conjuring trick here, creating a film which is fanciful yet believable, chastening yet ecstatically romantic. The attractive leads keep it grounded and tactile, but it’s the what-ifs which are a tantalising talking point . . . after all, how would the restaurant trade adapt if touch, not taste became the point of dining out?
