2025/2026: what is the cost of the truth?
the boss of it all

by lars von trier, adapted by jack mcnamara / canadian debut

he’s the head honcho. the top dog. the man calling the shots…or so everyone thinks. when an aloof company owner hires an »actor« to pose as the boss to avoid the business of being disliked, office politics explode into a comedy of errors. In this biting satire from lars von trier, »the boss of it all« skewers workplace egos, fake authority, and the very idea of leadership—proving that sometimes, the person in charge is just the best at pretending to be.

18+. comedy.
