<p>A deliriously dark comedy exploring the absurd tragedy of the human condition when left to the devices of our tech-obsessed society. "I had many things in mind that I wanted to achieve before the Frenchwoman Katia arrived..." So begins the story of Amir Tag Elsir s French Perfume as told by Ali Jarjar the town gossip and schemer of a poor community rich with sleazy bachelors, desperate women, soothsayers and secret police. Tasked to introduce his impoverished town to a chic foreign visitor, Ali's attempts to make the best first impression are left in limbo as the newcomer perpetually postpones her trip. Quickly escalating to a terrifying conclusion, Spike Jonze s Her crashes into Samuel Beckett s Waiting for Godot as our charming narrator allows his attraction for a stranger s online existence to become a frightening obsession in the real world.</p>
