***Le Musk*** is a 2017 Indian [virtual reality](/source/Virtual_reality) [thriller](/source/Thriller_(genre)) film written, directed and co-produced by film composer [A. R. Rahman](/source/A._R._Rahman).[1] [2] The film stars [Nora Arnezeder](/source/Nora_Arnezeder), [Guy Burnet](/source/Guy_Burnet), Munirih Grace and Mariam Zohrabyan.[3][4][5][6]

A preview of *Le Musk* was shown 27 April 2017 at the ‘NAB’, Las Vegas in a room with multi-sensory 'Positron Voyager' VR motion platform.[7][8] At [72nd Cannes Film Festival](/source/2019_Cannes_Film_Festival), Rahman unveiled 'Scent of a song' from the film.[9]

## Plot

## Production

### Development

In 2015, [A. R. Rahman](/source/A._R._Rahman) was planning to create a theatre with projections all around and scent added to it, after being suggested by his wife Saira to make a film on perfumes.[11][12] Three months later, someone gave Rahman a [virtual reality](/source/Virtual_reality) gear which prompted him and his wife to make a virtual reality film based on perfumes. In order to blend the [olfactory](/source/Olfactory) element in his film, Rahman got in touch with Grace Boyle,[13] who is the founder director of Feelies, a London based company that has developed the technology to disperse scent during a film.[14][15]

### Filming

The entire film was shot in [Rome](/source/Rome) in a span of 13 days using a pair of Jaunt ONE cameras, with each of them being fitted with 24 camera sensors so as to capture [8K](/source/8K_resolution) quality video.[16][17]
