ABBA: The Movie

Jun 11 - Jun 13, 2007

Lasse Hallstrom, Sweden/Australia, 1977, 35mm, 96 min

Revisit the sweet harmonies and infectious charms of Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, and Anni-Frid! In one of his first films, director Lasse Hallstrom (CHOCOLAT) follows the fun-loving Swedish pop sensation, ABBA, on an Australian tour at the height of the group's success. Great concert performances including the hits "Take a Chance on Me," "Fernando," "Dancing Queen," "Mamma Mia" and others are intercut with reactions from adoring fans, backstage footage, and a subplot about a radio disc jockey desperately trying to catch up to the super group for an interview. ABBA: THE MOVIE is rarely screened and not available on home video. Don't miss the catchy music, outrageous stage costumes, and, according to the 1977 press, the "sexiest bottom in Europe!"
