TrustNordisk is proud to announce that THE HUNT by Danish director Thomas Vinterberg has been selected for Competition at the 65th Cannes International Film Festival.
THE HUNT is written by Thomas Vinterberg and Tobias Lindholm and stars Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen as Lucas, who is accused of a crime he did not commit and must fight to get his life back on track.
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 slight comment. 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.
THE HUNT is produced by Sisse Graum Jørgensen and Morten Kaufmann for Zentropa in co-production with Film i Väst and Zentropa International Sweden with support from The Danish Film Institute, Danish Broadcasting Corporation, Eurimages, Nordic Film & TV Fund, The Swedish Film Institute, Swedish Television and the MEDIA programme of the European Union.
