The Hunt (2012)

Mads Mikkelsen won Best Actor at Cannes as Lucas, a divorced kindergarten teacher whose small Danish community turns on him after a false accusation. Because the audience knows he is innocent, the debate moves somewhere more uncomfortable: what should his neighbors have done with what they believed, and how can a community protect children without destroying an innocent man? Thomas Vinterberg's drama is painful to sit through, but its questions about belief, evidence and mob certainty are exactly the kind a club can work through together.
