A 150bpm success story.
This music documentary from Cordula Kablitz-Post follows Germany's undisputed techno superstars Scooter, and front man Hans Peter Geerdes aka HP Baxxter, the mastermind of Scooter.
During the 90s no German band polarised opinion like them, but what was formerly considered disposable music is today cultish, Dadaist madness. With simple and concise slogans like “Hyper! Hyper!” and “How much is the fish?”, Scooter became internationally known and has now sold over 30 million records.
Over the last two and a half years, Kablitz-Post followed Scooter throughout Europe - during private moments, in the studio, on the road and at concerts. Interweaving gripping live and private archival footage, this intimate portrait of the legendary front man and band explores the emotional highs and lows in a time when parties and live performances were forbidden.
While the title “FCK 2020” refers to a Scooter hit from 2020, it also responds to the pandemic-related imposition of a complete halt to all activities with surreal humour and an anarchic spirit of resistance
