THE BOSS OF IT ALL / Direktøren for det hele
Lars von Trier, Denmark, 2006, 100 min, original version with Spanish subtitle

Imagine that the boss for whom you’ve worked your entire life did not ever exist. This is the premise of this brilliant comedy that the “The Office” fans will love. In one of his craziest works, Lars von Trier reveals the mechanisms of a business world where capitalism’s incoherencies are reflected.

The boss of a technologycompany wants to sell it. The only problem is that, when he created the company, he made up a fictional president after which he could shelter every time he needed to take awkward decisions. When the potential buyers insist they want to speak directly to the president, he must hire an unemployed actor to act as the “president”. The actor won’t take long to find out he is a pawnin a game that tested his (inexistent) moral stature.
