Ups and downs. A sneak preview from the Copenhagen Film Festival.
22 September 2006
Well, The film presents itself in a usual unfinished and poorly edited manner, on-camera Mic (with no sound perspective), bad framing, blown out lighting, and no continuity. However this is not enough for me to say that it is a bad film: I almost wish that I could. But Von Trier's dark-grey comedic script is absolutely fantastic, with a lovely (maybe predictable, but lovely none the less) twist, and this was delivered by very competent and expressive acting.

My initial thought as the credits rolled, which I stand by the morning after, is that it would have been better suited as a radio drama; and the only way that I could imagine that kind of camera work looking justified would be if it were filmed on Super 8, which would have made it an excellent film.

"The Boss Of It All" had its world premiere on the 21st of September 2006 at the Copenhagen International Film Festival.
