Just as man has succumbed to the urge to kill, fight, and procreate since the beginning of time, also has man had the tendency to persecute others without clear or rational explanation. These attacks, popularly called ‘witch hunts,’ come under fire in the Academy-Award nominated Danish film “The Hunt,” which tells the story of how one little girl’s lie has devastating consequences.

Usualmente creerías que esta historia trata sobre un descubrimiento, sobre gente dándose cuenta de la verdad poco a poco y sobre alguien escapando de cosas que lo atormentan, y si bien en parte esto último se da, sobra decir que Jagten (o La Caza para los amigos) toma un camino completamente diferente, y si vieron la película podrán intuir el por qué. En primer lugar cabe aclarar que esta no... read more

Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was really eager to check it out. Well, I wasn't disappointed as Thomas Vinterberg has delivered one of his strongest movies so far. Indeed, personally, I have always been intrigued about our current obsession about pedophilia and this movie gave me some really interesting insights about our current approach about such issues. I mean... read more

View all The Hunt (2012) reviews

Following a tough divorce, 40-year-old Lucas has a new girlfriend, a new job and is in the process of reestablishing his relationship with his teenage son, Marcus. But things go awry. Not a lot. Just a passing remark. A random lie. And as the snow falls and the Christmas lights are lit, the lie spreads like an invisible virus. The shock and mistrust gets out of hand, and the small community suddenly finds itself in a collective state of hysteria, while Lucas fights a lonely fight for his life and dignity.

"Si bien es comprensible que utilicen esta película para recordar por qué es importante la presunción de inocencia, creo que es mucho más que solo eso. Retrata la caída de la falsa imagen de pueblo tranquilo en donde sus habitantes se conocen entre todos y los niños viven felices e inocentes. Cuando algo agita como el testimonio de una niña, no se pretende cambiar el status quo, sino que se quieren sacar el problema de una vez. El final refleja esto perfectamente y es sin duda muy aterrado"

"2.2. Disney+ Thomas Vinterbergin kipeä ja ahdistavakin elokuva väärin perustein yhteisön tuomitsemasta lastentarhanopettajasta sisältää niin äärettömän tarkkanäköisiä havaintoja massahysteriasta, lasten satuiluista, ajatusmanipulaatiosta, juoruilusta ja ihan vaan kusipäistä, mutta myös aidosta välittämisestä, että se sai minut vähän suunniltani, enkä oikeastaan halua enempää siitä "puhua". Tuntuu liian uskottavalta jaksaakseni uskoa, etteikö sama meno tapahtuisi täl"
