Boss Of It All is a comedy from
Lars von Trier. Lars doesn't do many comedies, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Boss Of It All is f*ing awesome and hilarious. Completely ridiculous and funny and fresh. Lars does a lot of his movies in English, but this one is in his native Danish.
I freaking love Lars von Trier. The first movie of his that I ever saw was
Zentropa at the Tivoli in Kansas City in 1991 (or so). This was before I cared anything about directors. Zentropa touched me in a deep way. And I know this because I never forgot the name of the film or what it was about -- and I forget the name of most of the films I see and what they are about. Andrew spends half his day saying, "We saw that movie last week/yesterday/last year. Don't you remember?"
Anyway, Lars' movies are the kind of movies where he conveys things that I can't express in words. I'm going to be very very sad when he's gone.
