As usual the book is very good and the film is good - well until the last 25% when it goes all Hollywood.

both book and movie are beautiful!

I have just finished reading the book. Can't wait to see Tørk and Jakkelsen!

Ha! That music is from the Predator 2 score!

@009firefox I may have to rent it then :)
What threw me off a bit was the casting. On reading the book, I didn't visualize the characters this way. The book was great! I even was able to correspond with Ms Nunnaly regarding the translation in order to clarify something I was working on! and then i saw her on "How Scandinavian Crime Fiction Conquered The World" coolness!

@yoohoo909 I do not know whether you have already seen the film but I have read the book AND seen the film- and I think the film comes pretty close to the book. At least I wasn`t disappointed.

if ever a book was butchered by a movie, this is it. mis-cast, mis-directed, and a missed opportunity. what a fucking shame. a great book by a great writer transformed into a waste of celluloid.

I agree with joeehzy, though I'm sure the movie probably gave the novel some justice(It does look like it stayed within the storyline of the book), I imagine Smilla with more Greenlandic/Inuit features. Yes, she grew up (schooled) in Denmark, but the book distinctly has her recalling her very young years with her mother (and i think she ran away 3x trying to get back to Greenland) The boy Isaiah is almost perfectly cast.
how i wish sumbody wud upload d whole movie here. =)

@smartcooky99 - You got Smilla's personality well. She is also very intelligent, mature, yet maintaining a streak of her youth.
I've yet to see the movie, but experience has taught me never to have high or perfect expectations when relating a film to a novel it was based off.
