- Synopsis
- Based on Peter Hoeg's bestseller, this film is set in snowy Copenhagen where a small boy is found dead after he fell off a roof. Smilla Jasperson, a close friend who lives in the same house begins to suspect murder because she knows that the boy was afraid of heights and would not have played on the roof. As she begins to investigate, she is pulled deeper and deeper into a conspiracy that could very well mean her death.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It is involving and entertaining, and features an intriguing, independent heroine."
-
"Though enlivened by occasional touches, 'Smilla's' is like the food at Taco Bell: exotic only to someone who hasn't experienced the real thing."
-
"After the disastrous 'The House Of The Spirits,' Bille August should know from experience to leave good novels well alone."
