Jerry Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I didn't read the novel and hadn't planned to see the English/Hollywood version when it is released later this year. Not my cup of tea -- investigative reporters, girls with tattoos, but was practically forced to watch the Swedish DVD this afternoon. Quite engrossing. I can see why it was popular in 2009 in Europe. I can't imagine why there should be another version in English -- it was perfect as it was. Perhaps our theater owners did not want to take a chance with 'European art films from Sweden'. Must sucker the low brow audience in to buy the popcorn. I consider it an old fashioned movie experience -- like reading a novel. Rich people gathered in a drawing room. One of you is the murderer. The final summing up -- men are such beasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Unfortunately, I read the 3rd book first, followed by the 4th. I have now obtained the 1st two which I will get round to reading plus I have the 2 DVD's that are available. Excellent story. Sadly the author has died, but I believe his ex-wife has written one in a similar vein, that is as good if not better. PS. You have to make allowances with Foreign authors and translations and try to understand the culture and thought process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
