The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo: Outlier

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo: Outlier

After defining a movie act and looking at the oft-used three-act structure, Lessons from the Screenplay looks at a film that breaks those conventions. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has an odd structure, but each act has a self-contained story that keeps the film engaging.
