Linkage Refinement, Play #46 by rcall

"I'm going to argue that a movie which is about a boy who is born being able to smell things from several miles away, can locate and differentiate between twigs on the ground based solely on their scent, and who takes up serial murder as a way to attempt to distill the smell of individual people down so he can keep it in vials is squarely in the "fantasy" realm."
