Mads Mikkelsen (A Royal Affair, NBC’s Hannibal) won the Best Actor award at Cannes for his performance as Lucas, an adored teacher in a small town. When a jealous student issues a flat-out vicious accusation, the community’s inner beast is unleashed. The Hunt is very timely, as digital gossip now goes viral instantly. It beautifully explores the delicate subject of guilt via passivity: by saying little, Lucas feeds the suspicions of the town (and the audience). D: Thomas Vinterberg, Denmark, subtitled, 2012, 115m
