This movie is based on a novel, The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson. He is no longer among the living. Of course, his grungy and innovative works will continue to passionately and emotionally affect everyone. There is no doubt that the Stieg Larsson holds up a mirror in front of the face of a true life, using his life experiences as an excellent observer.

I attended the 2010 Palm Springs Film Festival earlier this year and enjoyed the foreign film Paulista, which was directed by award-winning Robert Moreira. The film won Best Picture and Best Actress at the Hollywood Brazillian Film Festival and has received rave reviews in the independent film circuit. Paulista features the following accomplished Brazillian actors: Silvia Lourenco, Maria Clara Spinelli, Danni Carlos, Paulo Vilhena, Fabio Herford, Leilah Moreno, and Gustavo Machado.
