Synopsis

A Swedish IT company gets a new boss, who swiftly turns out to be a soulless hatchet man in Schildt's dark satire on the evils of the corporate world. He's opposed by Daniel, one of his employees, and eventually comes crashing down, impaled on his own hubris. So Daniel gets given the poisoned chalice of leadership in his place, just to end up as amoral and platitudinous as the man and values he initially stood up against. Power corrupts: the message is as old as the hills. But it's carried out here with some real brio, featuring a set of effectively unctuous leads and some scenes of stark inhumanity that, combined with an icily plangent soundtrack, occasionally really pull the rug out from under your feet. Creepy fun, as long as you don't work in one of these offices.

Awards: 2002: Guldbagge Awards (Sweden): Best Supporting Actor (Göran Ragnerstam)
