The Hunt (aka Jagten) 2012

 

Lucas (Mads Mikkelson) is rebuilding his life, recently divorced, an ex school teacher, he now works at a local nursery in his Danish small town, life is showing signs of improvement. His life though will change forever when a young girls untruthful remark throws his life into chaos as the townsfolk turn against him.

Mikkelson puts in a stellar performance, tortured by painful untruths, this is a powerful performance in an intense and devastating Danish drama that is well worth seeking out
