The majority of Hunted, a revenge thriller from director Vincent Paronnaud (who collaborated with writer/illustrator Marjane Satrapi on Persepolis and Chicken with Plums) takes place within the forests of Belgium. It’s apt that it opens with a woman telling her son a fable over a fire about how wolves of the forest teamed up with a witch to take revenge on her oppressors. The animals, the trees, and the nearby river have a storybook feel to them. A wild boar causes a car crash. A praying mantis perches on an arm; black and yellow salamanders crawl over a rock.
