The Boss of It All 15 Direktøren for det hele Regional Premiere

Saturday 8 December, 18.45

Dir. Lars von Trier. Denmark 2006. 99 mins. In Danish with English subtitles. Feature Film.

We’re thrilled to present the latest release from the legendary Lars von Trier, the eccentric and brilliant director of the landmark films The Idiots and Dogville. Here he uses a new process called Automavision, with a computer more in charge of the camera than he was!

A Danish IT firm are selling up, which is further complicated by the boss having made the mistake of inventing a fictitious figurehead to hide behind for unpopular decisions. With the Icelandic buyers insisting on meeting this boss, the real one employs a failed actor to step in as the fictitious ‘boss of it all’. Not quite ‘Lars does David Brent’, but this is a hilarious and clever comedy of office errors.

“A funny…thought provoking comedy”
