The Hunt (2012)

We arrive during the shifting of the seasons in a small Danish town, where the local townsfolk go about their daily lives in preparation of Winter. Lucas, a former teacher, makes the most of this difficult transitional period in his life by serving as a beacon of light at the local daycare center he works at, maintaining social connections that he holds dearly, and by holding out for hope that he may one day gain custody of his son.

 

Thomas Vinterberg’s 2012 drama, The Hunt, serves as a modern day witch hunt that is turned on its head by exploring the repercussions and ripples that emanate throughout the town in the wake of an innocent lie. Prejudice, local vigilantism, and the illusory truth find themselves at odds in this turbulent take on the relativity of morality and justice.
