...Larsson's work, but because of them Oplev is able to tease more thrills out of the material than they might expect.

"If you want to foster patriotism you must set an example," says Bela Bugar, a veteran ethnic Hungarian parliamentarian and a Slota rival. "Everything that is forced produces aversion."
