The Hunt by Thomas Vinterberg, and if you haven't already seen his film The Celebration, I'd highly recommend you check it out. When it premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Mads Mikkelsen took on the Best Actor award, and I can't really argue with that, because the level of suffering and desperation we see from this character is more than convincing.

The film follows the main character Lucas, who works at a local kindergarten. A series of unfortunate coincidences leads one of the adults to believe that he sexually abused one of the children, and I don't want to spoil too much, but eventually leads to mass hysteria within his community.

And I gotta say, as a person with a penis, this movie terrifies me. To think that human beings are, by nature, so crazy that entire lives can be ruined by nothing more than a lie, is a harsh reminder of the dangers of group mentality and mass hysteria. And it's all delivered extremely well; even the child performances being nothing short of superb. And it's even crazier to think that events like this actually happens. Most prominently in the eighties and nineties, where crazy news reports would actually tell people that Satanists had invaded their day cares.

Anyway, like I said, it's a really ballsy subject matter, but regardless, it's a great film, and it's hard to imagine it could have been delivered in a better way.
