Synopsis

After a violent car crash, injured passengers lie scattered around an overturned vehicle. Rather than helping, a strangely cheerful group of bystanders turns the accident into a grotesque dance routine, dragging, posing, and treating the victims like lifeless puppets. Berndsen, dressed in a top hat, performs on the wreckage as the scene grows increasingly macabre and absurd. The bright, upbeat love song clashes deliberately with the video's bloody imagery, creating a darkly comic piece of pop surrealism.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Supertime" was released online in 2009 and later appeared on Berndsen's album *Lover In The Dark*, released on December 10, 2010.

• The production used a large ensemble of actors, extensive fake blood, and an overturned car to create the crash scene.

• Berndsen later recalled that he was initially hesitant about the concept, particularly because it required numerous actors and a substantial amount of fake blood. He eventually agreed to the idea and became pleased with the result.

• The video's deliberately cheerful treatment of a fatal-looking accident helped establish Berndsen as a distinctive visual artist in Iceland's music scene.

• The video was nominated at the Queens International Film Festival, the London Youth Film Festival, and the European Film Festival.

• Within two months of its release, the video had reportedly passed 65,000 YouTube views, an impressive figure for a largely independent Icelandic release at the time.

• The video experienced renewed attention years later after appearing in a South American video blogger's compilation of disturbing music videos.
