Smilla's Sense of Snow
1997
**
Director: Bille August
Cast: Julia Ormond, Gabriel Byrne, Richard Harris, Robert Loggia
Smilla, a snow and ice expert with a troubled past, gets drawn into a murder investigation in Copenhagen. This mystery has a terrific cast but the performances are icy. The murder plot is flat and the overall mood is consistently aloof. Adapted from Peter Hoeg's novel.
