Stieg Larsson’s Millennium books—The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest—are renowned bestsellers worldwide, spawning films in Sweden and in Hollywood. Though they are considered mysteries, Larsson’s partner Eva Gabrielsson explains their true intention as fierce social criticisms.
Larsson’s partner for thirty years, Gabrielsson talks for the first time about his literary intent and about the reality behind his books. She shares her belief that the film industry has subverted the original meaning of the books in its attempt to squeeze as much money as possible out of the series. She rues the film’s portrayal as action stories when they are truly meant to be “a critical portrait of women’s oppression in a patriarchal society,” particularly through sexual violence. In this documentary, Gabrielsson shares the author’s overlooked perspective, and works closely with a Danish theatre company to mount a stage version of the works.
Contains sexually graphic material. For mature audiences.
