The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)
(Män som hatar kvinnor )
Country: SV/DK/GER/NOR
Technical: col/2.35:1 152m
Director: Niels Arden Oplev
Cast: Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace, Sven-Bertil Taube, Peter Haber
Synopsis:
A journalist condemned on libel charges is hired by a member of the board of an established family company to investigate the disappearance forty years previously of his beloved niece. Another girl meanwhile, a professional internet hacker with a traumatic family history, begins to give help to the journalist.
Review:
A question of two interlocking tales about male abusers of women, the Swedish novel, whose title translates as Men Who Hate Women, is here faithfully adapted for the screen in suitably Nordic hues. The pace is deliberate, the exposition detailed, and we are gradually drawn into the plot by a series of breakthroughs, a number of which depend on up to date computer technology (indeed the laptops of the principals are almost characters in their own right). We have to a certain extent been here before, of course, so far as the 'family with a guilty secret' whodunnit is concerned, but it is the combination of these elements with that of the extraordinarily withdrawn girl that injects a note of freshness.
