Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Cannes 2012

In "The Hunt", Lucas, an inherently good man, becomes the target of a community torn apart by lies, manipulation and betrayal; where he continually fights for his lost friendship, forgiveness and reputation. Thomas Vinterberg's direction gives us a strong statement: showing us a new way of looking at modern society where men and children are concerned; things are not always what they seem.
