Denmark has selected director Thomas Vinterberg's drama Jagten a.k.a The Hunt to represent it at the 86th Academy Awards. The film stars Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen and Annika Wedderkopp.
Last year, The Hunt won Best Actor Award (Mads Mikkelsen), Vulcain Prize for the Technical Artist (Charlotte Bruus Christensen), and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the Cannes Film Festival.
Synopsis: Mads Mikkelsen stars as Lukas, a recently-divorced primary school teacher locked in an acrimonious custody battle over his teenage son Marcus (Lasse Fogelstrøm). When five-year-old Klara (Annika Wedderkop), the daughter of Lukas's best friend Theo (Thomas Bo Larsen), tells the headmistress of the school - untruthfully - that Lukas has acted abusively towards her, the accusations quickly escalate and Lukas soon faces unanimous condemnation from everyone around him, including his closest friends.
Note: The Hunt is already available on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom. (See our listing and review of this release here). In the United States, Magnolia Pictures will release the film on Blu-ray on December 10th. (See our listing of this upcoming release here).
