Notă biografică

Lars von Trier is a Danish film director and screenwriter. He is closely associated with the Dogme 95 collective - an avant-garde filmmaking movement - although his own films have taken a variety of approaches. His work has frequently divided critical opinion. His first publicly released film was the 1977 experimental short The Orchid Gardener and his first feature came seven years later with The Element of Crime (1984). Among many prizes, awards and nominations, he is the recipient of the Palme d'Or (for Dancer in the Dark), the Grand Prix, and the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Nymphomaniac Volumes I and II were released in 2014 to great acclaim.

Recenzii

The Boss of it All ( - ) makes a seamless transition to the stage. ( - ) it's a very funny exploration of authority, identity and our need for affirmation.
A play asking very interesting questions about the nature of leadership and its intersection with responsibility versus anonymity ( - ) The ending itself, surreal and unexpected, is the perfect conclusion to a show of the highest standard.
All office comedy is inevitably concerned with the challenge of being a popular boss; the difficulty of integrating while in charge. The wit and imagination behind The Boss of It All, however, make it completely refreshing. ( - ) It's a joy to watch and, for my money, the best office comedy on at the Fringe this year.
Danish master of provocation Lars Von Trier's first comedy, 2006's The Boss of It All, is perfect for a theatre adaptation: simple to stage, strongly character-driven, shot through with sardonic meta-commentary on the pretentiousness of actors and the conventions of directing. And it's funny as hell.
There's a lot of fun to be had along the way, with a strong cast led by Gerry Howell ( - )
As one might expect, this is a witty intellectual game that has hidden layers and challenges audience members to take their own positions through a series of moral exercises.
