The Girl Who Played With Fire

The Girl Who Played With Fire: The Girl Who Played With Fire, the highly anticipated second instalment of the Millennium Trilogy, will be screened at WTW Cinemas White River Cinema in St Austell on Monday 6th September. Noomi Rapace reprises her role as Lisbeth Salander, described by esteemed critic Roger Ebert as compelling as any movie character in recent memory.

When a researcher and Millennium journalist on the cusp of exposing Swedens sex trade are murdered, Lisbeths prints turn up on the murder weapon, making her the prime suspect. With a history of violence, she is reported as a danger to society, but shes nowhere to be found. Mikael Blomkvist, editor-in-chief of Millennium, refuses to believe what he hears on the news and sets out to clear Lisbeths name. As he delves deeper, he uncovers some horrible truths about her past, revealing the young woman to be a product of a corrupt system.

Stieg Larssons novels have become the biggest publishing hit since Harry Potter and a Hollywood version is already in the pipeline. LA Times critic Betsy Sharkey wrote highly of The Girl Who Played With Fire, claiming though the thriller is in the hands of a different film-making team this time, led by Swedish director Daniel Alfredson and screenwriter Jonas Frykberg, theyve kept the searing intelligence and ruthless bent that turned the first books adaptation into an international box office hit.

Guardian Film blogger Ben Child found the follow-up to be a rather sharper piece of film-making than its predecessor, and while the film will appear stylistically bland to viewers used to fiercely stylised Hollywood thrillers, this actually adds to its sense of verisimilitude.

To catch the film before Hollywood gets its hands on it, head to WTW Cinemas White River Cinema at 8.15pm on Monday 6th September. The screening will be held as part of a fundraising event for this years Festival. Thanks to the support of Momentum Pictures and WTW Cinemas, all proceeds from the ticket sales will go towards this years Cornwall Film Festival. To book your tickets, visit the WTW Cinemas website.

The trilogys finale, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest, will be screened at the Cornwall Film Festival, three weeks before the UK release. Visit the website for more information on the Festival which will take place 5th-7th November.
