THE LIE IS SPREADING
Alongside Lars Von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg (Festen, Far From the Madding Crowd) is one of Danish cinema s finest modern exports. Perhaps his greatest film, The Hunt, is a sublimely orchestrated exercise in tension which features a tour-de-force central performance from Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One, Casino Royale), who was awarded Best Actor at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival for his performance.
Mikkelsen is Lukas, a recently-divorced primary school teacher locked in an acrimonious custody battle over his teenage son but just as his fortunes begin to change with the arrival of a new love his world is torn apart by an innocent lie. Persecuted by his local community, accusations escalate and Lukas soon faces unanimous condemnation from everyone around him, including his closest friends.
Featuring a stellar supporting cast from Danish Film and TV s finest including Thomas Bo Larsen (Pusher), Anne Louise Hassing (The Idiots) and Susse Wold (Unit 1), The Hunt, eschews the rules of Vinterberg and his colleagues filmmaking manifesto Dogme95 for one of the most beautifully photographed and perfectly scripted films in recent years.

Amazing
Have wanted this movie for a long time and made my friend buy it for me for my birthday. Just rewatched this today, and I love this disc. Specially the two-sided cover. The extras are amazing. So glad I have this!

Actually a horror movie disguised as a drama
A masterpiece by Thomas Vinterberg, probably my personal favorite drama due to the fantastic cast and unique, heavy story. In case you wont though (SOME SPOILERS AHEAD), the story follows Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen) and his life as a preschool teacher in a small town who gets accused by his best friend's daughter of sexual abuse - an idea which got implanted in her head because her brother and his idiot friend showed her pornography on their phone / tablet, can't remember what it was right now. You can understand the perspective of both Lucas and the people that turned against him, but the level of anxiety and dread this movie induces is actually unbearable at times, which is why I wrote the title the way I did. Even though you see both sides, you're still following a man that did nothing and is forced to go through the suffering of having pretty much no one in his life. By the time some evidence shows up in his favor, it's already too late and most of the people have made up their minds about him. Everything about this movie is great, the acting is natural and realistic, there is little to no music in the movie, the character study, story and ending are all superb. The bonuses are all great. While I personally think the alternate ending and deleted / extended scenes are almost all not needed (as in, the movie is good as it is), I am glad that we have this stuff as bonus content; bonus scenes have always been one of my favorites. Highly recommended, I would also love to see Arrow release some other Vinterberg movies, especially Druk (2020).
