Dinner & A Movie: The Hunt

About The Event: Enjoy a screening of one of the most celebrated foreign films of the year!  The Hunt is a critically-acclaimed Danish drama directed by Thomas Vinterberg and starring Mads Mikkelsen, who won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for the role.  The film was selected as the Danish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at next year's Academy Awards, where it is expected to earn a nomination.  Watch the movie trailer HERE.  The Friends of the Library will provide moviegoers with two slices of pizza, a snack, and a can of soda/bottle of water.

About The Film: The Hunt is a disturbing depiction of how a lie becomes the truth when gossip, doubt and malice are allowed to flourish and ignite a witch-hunt that soon threatens to destroy an innocent man's life. Mads Mikkelsen plays Lucas, a highly-regarded school teacher who has been forced to start over having overcome a tough divorce. Just as things are starting to go his way, his life is shattered. An untruthful remark throws the small community into a collective state of hysteria. The lie is spreading and Lucas is forced to fight a lonely fight for his life and dignity.  Rated R for sexual content including a graphic image, violence and language. 115 minutes.

Limited to 75 seats.  Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Lions Club.
