I'm not entirely sure what you mean with that last sentence. THE BOSS OF IT
ALL, as you seem to have also ascertained, is a film that's entirely about
the ways in which people pass the buck. The main character passes the buck
to someone who doesn't exist, claiming that his company is run by someone
more powerful than he. The director passes the buck by claiming that he is
not framing the actual shots but that something called "AUTOMAVISION" is
actually randomly shooting the movie. In addition to that, LVT gives us a
voiceover explaining that the film is supposed to be light, comedic,
meaningless, which is another way of passing the buck.

I dunno, I find this to be a deeply haunting film, especially as it was made
right around the time LVT was making a break with religion for good, and
apparently right before the alleged near-mental breakdown that led to
ANTI-CHRIST.
