The Hunt - Danish masterpiece


Today I went to see The Hunt (Cacería/Jagten), a Danish film by Thomas Vinterberg starring Mads Mikkelsen. I think every film I've seen with Mikkelsen has been excellent. I haven't seen all of them, but I think of films such as Flickering Lights, Open hearts, Adam's apples and After the wedding. Mikkelsen has a very wide range in his spectrum of possible acted characters, although he seems to lean more and more onto divorced, suffering, quiet fathers.

Anyway, The Hunt didn't dissappoint. It was another of those Danish masterpieces. This time showing how a little lie from one person can cause enormous damage in other people's lives. Mikkelsen's acting was superb. In my opinion, Mikkelsen is definitely one of the best actors in the world. If you like realistic drama, you'll love The Hunt.
