TV-2: Kys det satans liv
Jesper Skaaning / Denmark / 2025 / World Premiere / 54 min
Irony is reined in and truths are revealed in a warm and openhearted film about Denmark's oldest (and in their own words most boring) band.
The Aarhus-based band TV-2 has broken down generation gaps and helped define Danish humor, and lead singer Steffen Brandt’s lyrics have become a soundtrack to 45 years of Danish history.
The band’s 20th album will be released in March. It’s titled ‘As if we have nothing more to say’, but luckily Denmark’s self-proclaimed ‘most boring’ band still has a lot to say. In candid interviews, the members of TV-2 let us into an unprecedented archive and reveal truths about each other. ‘You can’t sing that stuff today. It was something they used to say … back in the 80s’, says Steffen Brandt with the warm humor that is so characteristic of the group. A film about reaching for the present and having longing as an eternal companion.
