“For me, it was important to fully understand Lisbeth to give her life. I wanted her to be complicated but extreme. She had to be a character you’ve never seen before yet still allow the audience to connect with her, so it was a balance between how much I should let her emotions out and how much I should keep in. I had many arguments about that with Niels, who would sometimes tell me that he wanted to see more of what was going on inside of Lisbeth, and I said, “No, I can’t do that.” Lisbeth has learned how to control her face and body so she can hide her feelings, and she wouldn’t be reacting the way Niels wanted me to in those cases.” -NOOMI RAPACE.
i haven’t even seen the swedish films but i already sort of heart noomi for the things i’ve read her say about lisbeth
The US version has great suspense and atmosphere, but the Swedish version has such good characterisation. Rooney Mara...
I need to find this version for download so I can see it. I finally watched the Rooney Mara one last weekend and...
Which is, IMO, what made her a stronger and more accurate Lisbeth.
