Plot
The owner of an IT company, Ravn, wishes to sell it. But, for years, he has pretended that the real boss lives in America and communicates with the staff only by e-mail. That way, all the unpopular decisions can be attributed to the absentee manager, while all the popular ones to him directly. But now, the prospective buyer insists on meeting the big boss in person. In a panic, the owner hires a failed, over-intellectualizing actor to portray this imaginary boss, and the actor proceeds to improvise all his lines, to the consternation of both the buyer and the company staff, who finally get to meet their ghostly boss.

[de] The Boss of It All
The Boss of It All ist der Verleihtitel der deutschen Synchronfassung des dänischen Spielfilms Direktøren for det hele aus dem Jahr 2006. Lars von Trier verantwortete Regie und Drehbuch der Komödie. Sie thematisiert Machtstrukturen in der Wirtschaftswelt, macht sich über radikale Theatertheorien und über nationale Eigenheiten der Dänen sowie ihre Beziehungen zu Island lustig. Zudem spiegeln sich in der Handlung selbstbezügliche Gedanken über das Verhältnis eines Filmregisseurs zu seinen Werken. Eigens für diesen Film hatte von Trier ein System entwickelt, bei dem die Kameraeinstellungen und Schnitte teilweise von einem Computer bestimmt wurden. Daraus resultiert ein visueller Stil, der verglichen mit konventioneller Filmästhetik ruppig und unvollkommen wirkt. Von der Kritik wurde der Film als Nebenwerk von Triers wahrgenommen; überwiegend missfallen hat das Kamera- und Schnittkonzept, das bloß die verwackelte Kamera der Dogma-95-Filme wiederhole. Kommerziell war der Film nur mäßig erfolgreich.
