My first...Great review BT - I do want to see this. My first thought - like instant reaction to this trailer when I saw it a while back was Millers The Crucible. Besides the basic plot line, did you get that feel about it? I haven't seen the film, but do intend to. It could just be the title - I immediately thought of "witch hunt" which then took me to The Crucible, but I would think Vinterberg is too smart to do something like that casually. Did you see it as a contemporary re-imagining of the Crucible? If so, its possible this film is carrying some sort of critique on the genre itself.... food for thought. I can't wait to see it. Again - great review as usual.Lisa Thatchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-5532839213748983602012-11-19T09:40:21.647-08:002012-11-19T09:40:21.647-08:00Great review!
