The Girl With/Who ...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and The Girl Who Played with Fire, both based on the first 2 of the 3 Stieg Larrson novels. Both filmed in Demmark (I think), both spoken in Danish with English subtitles, both released in 2009, shown here this year.

See these movies!!

Both are contenders for the best film I've seen in a long time; subtitles never a problem.
I haven't read the books, but people I know that have say the films do not disappoint.

Tattoo is the best IMO, directed by Niels Oplev; the other directed by Daniel Alfredson. Both are semi-sequential, starring the same characters in evolving relationships.

These are strange, complex people caught in strange doings. Major big-name actresses wanted the lead role, but it went to an unknown, Rooney Mara. If you know anybody in these films, then you're ahead of the curve.

The 3rd movie, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest (based on 3rd and last novel), is scheduled for US release in October. I'll be in line.
