De skrigende halse

A movie that goes behind the environment and shows how life can be behind the underground. This is an underground must-see cult movie. You will feel like you know the characters from the first farme. Feel the sorrows and anguish. Their toil through life and how they deal with the problems they get.

This movie is a landmark of danish made-for-tv movies.

It features a number of actors who later went on to make it really big and it's truly hillarious. Unfortunately it's quite hard to get hold of even though it was released some years later commercially.

If you get a chance you should check it out. It's a brilliant satirical comedy of the underground music scene and it has more than its share of good moments.

A true cult classic.

I'm not going to write a review. I'll just say - if you haven't seen this film - your life isn't complete and it will never be. The story is great and funnily enough it seems quite realistic, and not at all unlikely - there is nothing not to like about this movie - which is quite unique. The band consisting of actors actually became quite popular in Denmark, and did a few gigs - and actually released an LP ( BLACK VINYL! ) - there was also a series of radio shows produced as a "follow up" to the movie - these are also brilliant and would have a made for a pretty neat "De skrigende halse 2"..

Go watch it NOW!

Stop hanging around, go already!

Danish movie by the great Søren Fauli, written together with Bo Hr. Hansen.

This movie is about a Punkband in Copenhagen back in the 80´s. The band that consists of Anders, Kim og Ronni is not the most succesfull band in the history of Punk in Denmark, but when Ronni suddenly is going "to die" the local recording company gets interested, and so does the people hanging out in the "fave" bar. What happens next you have to find out yourself...

A fine movie with great acting from Thomas Bo Larsen (as always), Martin Brygman, Sofie Gråbøl and Søren Pilmark is really my "fave" in this movie

Ronni is a guitarist in "De Skrigende Halse"( The Screaming Necks (!?)) a punk band in the mid-eighties. He´s popularity within the band is dropping because of his recurring stomach problems makes it hard to finish the training sessions. Ronni faints under a concert just to wake up to a lot of angry faces. To calm things down he tells everyone that he´s so weak because he´s dying. His "imminent" dead naturally causes a lot of attention towards him in the local punk scene and things start to happen for the band.

A fairly good comedy flick with a few really memorable scenes and a decent amount of laughs. It might not be to everyone´s taste but what the heck it only lasts about an hour so you don´t risk too much. 6/10
