watching this movie makes me think what a horrid tv show hannibal really is for reducing mads mikkelsen to a one dimensional psychotherapist-food enthusiast.
i am happy with each proven pervert caught like the next person, but i am not happy when the said caught person is not a proven pervert. the subject of this film is deliberate social isolation - that rocked a small danish village, where everybody is friends with everybody - when a male teacher is accused of indecently exposing himself to a little girl.
it was heartbreaking to see used to be friends turned their backs on him, losing his job in an instant without any proper investigation done, his girlfriend doubting his innocence, even the grocery store he frequented refused to serve him - a paedophile.
if only he were - all of this could be justified - only that he is not. i like the thomas vinterberg's taut direction - because what is at stake is a man's life.
