Stieg Larsson’s Millennium

[hellywelly4]

BBC 4 9.30 Saturday evening. In Swedish with subtitles. Absolutely brilliant. A two parter that ended last night but there are 4 more episodes to go. Highly recommended.

is it the film chopped up into 4?
I stated watching last night, but i tend to flit between things (like my phone, or emails) when im watching TV and because it's subtitled you cant do that :).
So i watched the daniel craig english version that was on the other side at the same time.

It was a complete story but you had to watch it from the beginning.

[bednobs]

so is it the 3 films in a series?

[hellywelly4]

I don’t know, sorry. What films do you mean?

[hellywelly4]

I’ve just googled Girl with a dragon tattoo. I didn’t realise they were the same story. Presumably then they are three films connected.

sorry for not being clear.
i remember seeing the "girl with the dragon tattoo" film that deffo had noomi rapace in it, but the thing on BBC last night appears from your post to be a series. I just wondered if they had taken a film and chopped it up, or if there really was a series? or now you are saying there are more episodes, if they have done that also with the following 2 films girl who played with fire and kicked the hornett's nest

There are 3 books/films in the Millennium trilogy. They are in Swedish (although there was a much weaker English remake of at least one of them).
This recent season splits each film into 2 parts, shown on consecutive weeks.
The Swedish films are absolutely excellent, even the 3rd one - the book was not great. They are titled "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest".
