Danish documentary from 2016. In September 1971 four young men met in a garden in Gentofte. They wanted to form a band and soon found that they could joke their way to one hit after another. Several years later their cheerful approach turned them into Denmark's largest band to date. But if their success came easily, it would also become their biggest problem. Besides being hit by alcoholism and stage directing, they faced an overriding dilemma: Should they stick to their happy bad-boy tone they had so much luck with, or try to become adults?

Klovn is a Danish sitcom, which first aired on the Danish TV channel TV2 Zulu. It focuses on the life of the main character Frank and Casper. The show builds its comedy around quiet everyday situations, social awkwardness, uncomfortable silences and general faux pas. Klovn usually gets compared to the American sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm by Larry David. It’s also shot handheld, in a pseudo-realistic style. Some have also mistakenly compared the theme to Curb Your Enthusiasm’s, despite it being a direct reference to Jacques Tati’s Mr. Hulot movies. The poster for the first film can be seen in Casper and Frank’s offices throughout the series. Klovn initially ran 6 seasons on TV2 Zulu from 2005-2009 and was renewed with an additional 3 seasons that aired from 2018-2022.
