The Hunt

jenseits des wohlfühlkinos... dieser film lässt mich hasse, verzweifeln, aufschreien und wieder hassen.... sehr gut erzählt und gespielt und nur in der handlung stellenweise nicht ganz nachvollziehbar. aber das soll wohl so sein... ein film, den man aushalten können muss... read more

52 years 52 weeks 52 arrows 2012 arrow video project 2019 #101 watched on arrow academy blu-ray. really enjoyed this one, a really strong danish thriller where mads mikkelson gets ganged upon by his whole town after a small girl in the nursery he works in makes false allegations against him. mads mikkelson's performance is awesome (really, i haven't seen him do poorly ever). ending was a bit eh though. read more

After all those years, dogma '95 is still dead, but the spirit remains. Jagten's characters don't feel like actors. They feel so natural and recognizable that they're like people we know for years. The direction just gives them so much room to breathe. Storywise, it's frustrating that characters can't seem to resolve even the tiniest problematic situation. But it's still a worthy contender for the best foreign film-oscar. read more

enredo irritante e fica mais desconfortável por ser tão bem desenvolvido. só achei que a atitude da diretora poderia ser mais plausível. read more

was kindly invited by justin peterson (https://letterboxd.com/petersonj198/) to come on his podcast and discuss this film, linked here: https://youtu.be/9jm53nv2emy?t=8273 (that's time-linked to where we get past the general format and start discussing the hunt). general quick hits if you're not into podcasts: having experience with a teaching background, i immediately knew as soon as we see trouble at home for the little girl: this was going to blow back on the teacher. it's universal. unhappy parents blame teachers first, look inwards later. it kind of boggled my mind how this danish read more

although 1998's festen and this film are 14 years apart from each other, thomas vinterberg's style is still present, and so is the influence of dogme 95. it's a heavy movie to watch. visually, it's very well done, and although i feel it abuses shakycam a bit in some moments, the rest of the time it blends in quite well. the cinematography is fantastic, and both the lighting and color palette help to set the tense and somewhat somber atmosphere well. the pacing is also very good, and makes the tension progress very naturally, leaving the viewer in a very strange state of anticipation for the... read more

doesn't hold back on its heavy atmosphere. well shot and incredibly well acted, especially by mads mikkelsen. despite a subject matter that is somewhere between difficult and impossible to handle, this film carries itself with dignity and, in my opinion, remains tasteful for its entirety. the film doesn't try to mislead you while at the same time giving you as a viewer credit and not holding your hand. and despite absolutely no evidence, i found myself doubting lucas' innocence throughout most of this film - which wonderfully illustrates exactly what this film is about. read more

dieser film erzeugt durch seine "brutale" darstellung der wahrheit dieses konstante gefühl von unbehagen, während man die ignoranz der erwachsenen von minute zu minute zu hassen beginnt... das mädchen korrigiert seine aussage oft, doch niemand nimmt sie mehr ernst, stattdessen werden ihr worte in den mund gelegt und fatale, falsche schlüsse gezogen, die das leben eines unschuldigen komplett ruinieren. read more

Ótimo filme que mostra como uma mentira pode acabar com a vida de alguém. Mads está ótimo no papel. Boas interpretações do elenco de apoio e um roteiro bem costurado com ótimos argumentos sobre inocência/perversidade infantil, injustiça e relações sociais read more

Mads is Daddy. Ok now seriously what a chilling experience! It was just like a car crash, you simply cannot look away! Astonishing how a clueless lie from a child destroys the life of a simple man. Brief scene analysis: The ending, in which a faceless person almost shoots Lukas, acts as a mirror for an earlier scene, in which Lukas killed a deer. It implies that the hunter (Lukas) became easy prey since the false accusations wounded him so greatly that he will never be a trusted part of the community again. Despite all of his "friends" celebrating his son's first hunt, as if nothing read more

First of all, hats off to the Director and Mikkelsen for pulling out this controversial thing (many people might find uneasy to talk about)👏. The movie is not at all clichéd and yet it breaks the stereotypical thing(In typical movies, the plot may fall to speak about Protagonist's Justice or he may proven as not guilty at the ending). This movie ended so mature and realistic. Realistic in the sense that even after completion of one year, someone tried to shot him. But we don't know who he was(In my POV, It simply depicts that the society won't accept him even after ages or till he die) the... read more
