#Videocrux - Noomi Rapace, an updated feminist. Noomi Rapace, an updated feminist.
A movie based on the first volume of Swedish author’s cult trilogy "Millennium" hit screens in Scandinavia on Friday. Somewhere in Sweden. A young girl disappears. Decades later, an investigator looking for answers teams up with a young woman Lisbeth Salander. Swedish author Stieg Larsson's creation is disturbed, almost an outcast, but very good with computers and big trouble for her enemies. Georg Cedersskog, Culture correspondent, Dagens Nyheter, "She's like an action figure, like a cartoon. It's hard to believe you could find a lady like that in real life. But she has qualities that I think attract a lot of people. She's very independent; she's a young girl, a young woman. Somebody said she's like an updated feminist."
Lisbeth role, one of the biggest challenge.
The makers of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" knew instantly that finding the right person to play Lisbeth would be one of their biggest challenges. Soeren Staermose, Producer, "She is the hero, the heroine, and she has to be perfectly right from the very beginning. So there was a big job to do the right casting, to find her, because if our public believes in Lisbeth Salander, then we can carry them through the rest of the universe." The producer found 29-year old Noomi Rapace, already famous in Sweden. She is used to playing troubled women, and critics say this is exactly how they imagined Lisbeth.
Larsson's Millennium book sold over 10 million copies.
Ronny Svensson, Film critic, TV4, "This is a fantastic Noomi Rapace characterization of Lisbeth Salander. She's really great. She's very mysterious and I like that. Its not there all the time. It gives you opportunity, in the darkness of the theatre to try to solve the mystery that surrounds this girl." For Swedish cinema the adaptation could spell big money, like Stieg Larsson's Millennium books themselves, which have already sold 10 million copies. A dozen countries have snapped up the film rights, and there's even talk that the movie could open this year's Cannes film festival.
