Welcome to Queerty’s recent introduction in our succession, Queerantined: Daily Dose. Every weekday as long as the COVID-1 9 pandemic has us under quarantine, we’ll release a suggested part of gloriously homosexual amusement designed to keep you from getting stir crazy in the house. Each weekend, we will too suggest a binge-able title to keep you extra engaged.
The White Knuckle: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
No , not the bloated American David Fincher-directed remake. The real The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo came out in 2009, produced in Sweden, where the tale is set, and where columnist Steig Larson devote “peoples lives”. Noomi Rapace stellars as Lisbeth Salander, a bisexual tech genius who sweeps paths with the writer Mikael Blomkvist( Michael Nyqvist ). The pair stumble onto a decades-old child abduction with connections to a reclusive millionaire, Nazis and a serial assassin. Thus begins a mystery-thriller as the pair attempt to track the missing girl and move into the killer’s web.

So how is this version better than the American version? First, everything feels real. The movie doesn’t use special effects to create snowy landscapes or menacing woods. It uses real spots that lend verisimilitude to what happens on screen. Second, Noomi Rapace returns one of the best concerts of the activities of the decade as the mad Lisbeth, giving all the pain, knowledge, lust, and obsession of the status of women. Third, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo scares the daylights out of us. Understand, this isn’t a movie that relies on ogres rushing out of the bushes yelling “Boo” to reach the audience jump-start. Very, the movie creates a violent, hazardous macrocosm as tormented as its characters.
Most important of all, for our aims, the movie discuss Lisbeth’s bisexuality with a matter-of-fact frankness. This isn’t a woman who hasn’t satisfied the right guy, or who sleeps with women to impress men either. She adores females as much as men and celebrates her own queerness, offsetting her accurately the kind of queeroine we want to see in a movie. That the cinema is this good acquires us adore her all the more.
