SCC Virtual Screening - The Man Who Played With Fire
2020-07-24, 2020-07-23, 2020-07-22 | ONLINE, United Kingdom, E16 2DQ
Join the Scandinavian Cultural Center for their week-long virtual screening of the 2018 documentary Stieg Larsson – The Man Who Played With Fire. The film will be available for viewing between July 19th and July 25th. Tickets are $5. Click here for more information and registration.
Since his untimely death at just 50 years of age, Stieg Larsson has become one of the world’s most famous authors. His Millennium Trilogy novels – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels – have sold more than 90 million copies worldwide and spawned multiple film adaptations. This fascinating documentary paints the little-known, and equally compelling portrait of the man before the books whose life was replete with the intrigue and danger that fueled his novels.
