Män som hatar kvinnor (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)
(2009)
The first of the trilogy based on Stieg Larsson’s best selling books is another in a string of great foreign thrillers to come along in the past few years. While I’m never going to be able to identify with a character like Lisbeth and the feminist subtext of the film, I can still appreciate a damn good thriller, even the ones with flaws. I really hope the David Fincher helmed US remake will stick a bit closer to the book in regard to Lisbeth’s motivations in the case, but otherwise I’m all in favour of a revisit of these characters.
