Description
Comedy is not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the dogmatic Dane Lars von Trier, but that's the most economical way to describe
The Boss of It All
. Instead of harping on America, the director focuses his cynicism on his homeland. Ravn (Peter Gantzler), the owner of an IT firm in Copenhagen, wants to sell to an Icelandic company. They insist on meeting the company's nonexistent president first, so Ravn hires an unemployed actor (Jens Albinus) for the part and the farce begins. "The mere idea of an actor convincingly impersonating a C.E.O. is inherently and deliciously disrespectful of the sacred capitalistic system" (Andrew Sarris,
The New York Observer
). In Danish and Icelandic with English subtitles.
