    A new genre, a new hit

    A Lars Von Trier comedy? Of course, being him, it's fairly dark but also genuinely funny. He might irritate some and will certainly do in this film when he pops up in the middle to start talking about the film, but it's intelligent, challenging and funny. Much better than his last two efforts, Dogville and Manderlay

But the sour ironies that underpinned these films are quite different from the playful delight that sparks The Boss of It All. In the opening voice over von Trier promises no... Read more
