THE HUNT: Mads Mikkelsen Week at FOMO Cinema
Friday 10. July at 21:00 - 22:55
FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi
There are movie stars, there are character actors, and then there is Mads Mikkelsen. Over three decades he has moved effortlessly between Copenhagen gangsters, priests, teachers, cannibals, Vikings, alcoholics, spies, surgeons and at least one man who cooks human beings for a living.
He has worked with Nicolas Winding Refn, Thomas Vinterberg, Susanne Bier, Anders Thomas Jensen and some of the biggest directors in international cinema, balancing arthouse cinema with global blockbusters.
For one week, FOMO is tracing that journey across eleven films. We'll start in the criminal underworld of 1990s Copenhagen, move through the dark comedies that helped define modern Danish cinema, and finish with the performances that transformed Mikkelsen into one of the defining screen presences of his generation.
Some of these films are masterpieces. Some are cult oddities. Many are both. Welcome to MADSNESS at FOMO Cinema Tbilisi
THE HUNT
Thomas Vinterberg | 2012 | Denmark | 1h55m | Danish with English subtitles
By this point in MADSNESS we've had gangster Mads, sad Mads, cannibal Mads, fat Mads and ripped Mads. THE HUNT gives us prestige Mads.
At its heart, THE HUNT is a film about how quickly damaging "groupthink" can take hold once fear enters the room. Mads Mikkelsen plays Lucas, a kindergarten teacher living a quiet life in a small Danish town. When a misunderstanding begins to spread through the community, friendships fracture, trust disappears and the world around him slowly starts to close in.
Thomas Vinterberg directs with remarkable restraint, refusing easy villains or simple answers. What emerges is less a courtroom drama or social issue film than a study of fear, suspicion and how fragile our place in a community can really be.
This is the performance that won Mads Mikkelsen the Best Actor award at Cannes and transformed him from a respected Danish actor into an international one. It remains the role against which almost every other Mads performance is measured. Don't miss it.
