THE HUNT


Drama
Original title Jagten
In Danish with English subtitles

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Mads Mikkelsen: former school teacher Lucas

REVIEW
Although it’s almost unbearable to watch, this story shows what can happen when mass hysteria pervades an entire community. Three great performances (by Mikkelsen, Larsen and Wedderkopp) coupled with an intelligent, well-written script makes this a riveting film, one that you’re not likely to soon forget.    


CLASSIFICATION
for sexual content including a graphic image, violence and language.

P.S.
There is no music, none at all; that has got to be a first.
