Have the time of your
life when ABBA: The Movie dances back into movie theaters for a special two-day
fan event celebrating 50 years since the Swedish pop sensation was formed and
45 years since the film’s original release.
Captured by director Lasse Hallström during their
mega-successful tour of Australia, the newly remastered film will take you on a
flashback journey to the 1970s when disco reigned supreme and ABBA were
royalty. Including backstage footage as
well as full-length performances of some of ABBA's greatest hits including
"Dancing Queen", "Tiger", "Name Of The Game" and
"Eagle”, the film provides a rare look at the hugely successful band
during the height of their popularity.
The subplot is a mocumentary-style story of a country radio
disc-jockey who attempts to land an interview with the band. As deadlines
loom—it is a slapstick mix of happenstance and error by the young DJ who is
tasked with getting the coveted interview while ABBA’s dedicated bodyguard does
everything he can to stop it from happening.
(1977, US, 105 min., English |
