(EL BUEN PATRÓN)
A piercingly clever comedy from Spain, featuring Javier Bardem at the top of his game, with a record breaking 20 nominations for The Good Boss at the Goya Film Awards and an Oscar® nomination for Best International Feature.
Blanco (Bardem), the charismatic owner of a family-run factory, is under pressure as he covets a local award for business excellence. Everything needs to be perfect, but the veneer of the perfect company cracks as Blanco has to deal with a vengeful fired worker, a depressed supervisor, and an infatuated ambitious intern. To win the competition, the manipulative "good boss" shamelessly meddles in his employees' private lives and crosses every line imaginable, unknowingly starting an explosive chain reaction with wild consequences.
A RECORD BREAKING 20 NOMINATIONS FOR THE GOOD BOSS AT THE GOYA FILM AWARDS AND 7 AWARDS INCLUDING BEST PICTURE.
