The Hunt

Scandinavian movies have been so interestingly good in recent years, and 2012's The Hunt is no exception.  It takes a look at the life of a schoolteacher (played by Mads Mikkelsen) in a small town dealing with the accusation of child molestation towards his student.  The nature of people and what it can morph into is examined.Even beyond the somberness the subject matter would suggest, is the unexpected tense and the masterful, suspenseful heights director Thomas Vinterberg elevates it towards combined with the superb acting of Mikkelsen and the rest of the cast.
