Smilla Jasperson, a close friend who lives in the same house begins to suspect murder and begins to investigate. What she finds pulls her deeper and deeper into a conspiracy that could very well mean her death.

    Does well by the book

    06 December 2008
    The makers succeeded well in capturing the complexity of the book's characters. Julia Ormond does well as the moody, unpredictable Smilla Jaspersen. So does Gabriel Byrne in the role of the rather secretive Mechanic. The brilliant Richard Harris is in here too, one of the many movies he probably said that it would be his last. The rest of the cast fits in well. Nice to see that they didn't try to get all big names, but rather actors who can fill a role appropriately. Of course the movie isn't perfect, but in order to give that book full credit, they would have had to make a 4 hour film. Especially the second part, with all the events on the ship and in Greenland, is rather condensed. Those scenes could have used a bit more air to breathe, less pace. Nevertheless I really like this movie, I have been watching it several times already. And now I think I am going to read the book again...
