In the third and final film of the Millennium Trilogy, Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge - against the man who tried to kill her and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. In Swedish with English subtitles. Director: Daniel Alfredson 2009 Sweden/Denmark 148min. R 35mm

CHIHULY FIRE & LIGHT ON OETA

OETA will be present Chihuly Fire & Light tomorrow night at 8:00pm. At once organic and othewrorldly, pure and complicated, Dale Chihuly's glass works brilliantly combine the simplicity of the medium with the extraordinary innovation of the artist. From Chihuly's studio in Seattle to installation sites, the documentary observes the artist at work with his team as he conceives and creates his most ambitious exhibition to date. From the Mille Fiorie (a 56-foot garden of glass) to the Saffron Tower (a 30-foot neon sculpture), Chihuly's exquisite sculptures challenge convention with bold color, dramatic forms and extraordinary composition. Still, Oklahoma City is home to the tallest Chihuly tower as well as the most comprehensive collection in the world!
