Sunny Sweden reigns supreme in the noir imagination, thanks to the worldwide renown brought to it by Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. Fans of the first novel were mostly thrilled with last year’s film adaptation, and part two—THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE—is every bit as good, seamlessly weaving its tale of conspiracy into the unfinished business of the first, under the more assured and idiomatic direction of newbie Daniel Alfredson. Lisbeth Salander returns from her high-living vacation to seek anonymous normalcy back Lisbeth Salander certainly has her cross to bear. in Stockholm just as Mikael Blomkvist and his team at Millennium are about to publish an expose of sex-trafficking to the city from Eastern Europe, naming names and shaming the powerful. When the article’s lead writer and his researcher girlfriend are found with bullets in the head just days before publication, suspicion turns on the gun’s registered owner, one Nils Bjurman (the horrific probation officer of the previous film)—then, when he’s found dead, from the prints lifted off of itLisbeth. Revenge-minded Fire brims with the dark energy of its star Noomi Rapace, and offers a lurid glimpse into the sadism lying beyond each smiling driveway and pastoral road. (The film is emphatically not a stand-alone. Give yourself a treat and see Dragon Tattoo first.)—Richard Gould
