Boss Of It All is highly recommended

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.

I had to read that first line several times - a comedy from Lars von Trier. Skepticism alone will send me to this one. Gotta tell ya, I've got mixed feelings about the guy. He started high on my list with "Breaking the Waves", slipped a little with "Dancer in the Dark" (tho' Bjork was amazing), and fell into a big muddy pit with "Dogville", but he deserves another shot!
