Denmark, 2012, 115 mins. Dir. Thomas Vinterberg

Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen – winner of Best Actor prize at Cannes) is a warm-hearted and popular primary school assistant whose life is just starting to return to normal after losing his job and his wife. Things start to go horribly wrong, however, when a 5-year-old child makes untrue claims about his behavior, and as accusation blaze the tight-knit community are quick shun and exile. Brilliantly scripted and performed, The Hunt explores how a disturbing revelation – even a false one – can bring together a community.
