Film pick: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

Tonight, the Brattle Theatre presents a sneak preview of the third and last of the series, Daniel Alfredson's The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, in which Salander, played by feral stunner Noomi Rapace, refights the entire Cold War with a bullet in her head while in an ICU. Here's your chance to see the film before it enters the Hollywood remake market, at 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | October 14 @ 8 pm | $10; $8 students, seniors | 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.
