The Good Boss 

Showtimes September 9 - 15:

Starring Javier Bardem, this satire of the corporate world tells the story of a charismatic and manipulative factory owner who meddles in the lives of his employees.

Blanco (Javier Bardem) is a factory proprietor who proudly finds himself in the running for a Business Excellence Award. Before receiving a visit from a committee who will decide whether he’s worthy of the accolade, he pulls out all the stops to address and resolve issues with his employees… But he crosses every imaginable line in the process.

A comedy that’s as satisfying as it is incisive, The Good Boss is an entertaining portrait of the corporate world in an era characterized by depersonalization and the deterioration of labor relations. What does the work world look like when concepts such as solidarity, ethics, and the common good are replaced by profit and precariousness? Come have a laugh while you take a peek at this solid perspective.
