ABBA – The Movie will be playing in select cinemas in countries across Europe this July and August.

Presumably, this will be the print restored by the Swedish Film Institute in 2003.

If you are lucky enough to live in one of the cities in the UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Germany and Austria (and possibly more to come), I highly recommend you see it. ABBA – The Movie must be experienced on the big screen at least once. Even if you’ve seen it before, see it again!

See the Arts Alliance Media website for locations, dates, times and updates.

A pré-estréia do musical Mamma Mia foi marcada pela presença de diversas estrelas do cinema e parou o Leicester Square, em Londres. Atores e atrizes, como Meryl Streep e Pierce Brosnan, que participam do filme, passaram pelo tapete azul da première.

Produtor executivo do filme, Tom Hanks também chamou a atenção da multidão em Londres. O ator Stellan Skarsgård comemorou o desafio que viveu ao fazer a película.

“Esse filme tem muito a ver com obstáculos. É sobre passar pelos obstáculos na sua vida. É a primeira vez que eu tive que dançar e cantar em um filme”, afirmou.

Já Meryl Streep se mostrava despreocupada com relação à sua atuação no musical. “Claro que posso cantar. Meu primeiro show na Broadway foi um musical”, afirmou a atriz.

O filme é uma adaptação do espetáculo de mesmo nome que virou um dos clássicos da Broadway. Todas as canções do filme foram feitas pela banda sueca Abba, que nos anos 70 “explodiu” nas rádios com a canção Dancing Queen.

O longa conta a história de Donna (Meryl Streep), uma mãe que nunca soube a real identidade do pai da sua filha. A situação muda quando a garota resolve se casar e acaba convidando três homens que podem ser seu verdadeiro pai para a grande festa, entre eles o personagem interpretado por Pierce Brosnan.

Homem aranha voltará às telonas.

March 3rd marks a significant anniversary for me. In 1977 on this day, I saw ABBA live on stage at their legendary first Australian concert in Sydney.

I feel thrilled to have been at the most famous concert of ABBA’s career. It’s the one concert that the ABBA members have all said they remember.

Its inclusion in ABBA – The Movie ensured its place in history. Not just ABBA history, but also the history of Sydney. After this and other rained-out concerts, government enquiries were held and large-scale indoor venues were finally built in Sydney.

I have some great memories of that night. Waiting in the grandstand for the concert to start, getting wet regardless of the shelter. The guy who kept announcing “you’re gonna get your rocks off!”. The immense noise from the crowd as ABBA took to the stage. The strobe-like effect of thousands of camera flashes for the first ten minutes. The reaction from the audience singing along to ‘Fernando’, and Björn saying everyone sang so well that “we’d like you to come backstage after the show so we can shake your hands and sign you up”. The fire projected on the back wall of the stage during ‘Fernando’ and the silhouette of a palm tree during ‘Sitting In The Palmtree’. Selected parts of ‘I Am An A’ (Björn: “I don’t like to shave”, Agnetha: “you should live in a cave”). ‘So Long’ not being performed. Björn announcing a song for “you to get up and dance to”. The fireworks at the end spelling out “Thank You Sydney – ABBA”.

I missed Frida’s famous slip during ‘Waterloo’ due to a momentary distraction. And my memories of the mini-musical “The Girl With The Golden Hair” aren’t as clear as other parts of the concert, probably because the songs were unknown. It seemed to me that ‘I’m A Marionette’ went on for 15 minutes. Now I know that it was reprised near the end of ‘Get On The Carousel’.

Some memories have been diluted by repeated viewings of ABBA – The Movie and listening to bootleg concert tapes. But others remain as clear as they were 31 (!) years ago.

The photo above right was one that I took of the stage and arena from our vantage point in the grandstand. See here for an exclusive gallery of photos from that night. And visit my site The ABBA Phenomenon in Australia for everything about ABBA’s Australian tour of 1977.

maxed out – imagine that michael moore made a documentary about credit card companies for pbs, this is what it would be. much like sicko, there is really nothing new here, but it is was good to see it. there was a woman in it whose voice drove me crazy, kind of a whispered nails on a chalkboard, so be warned about her.

abba: the movie – as a young gay i avoided abba, they were too much of a gay cliche for me, secretly i always knew i would love them. a few months ago i got their first couple of albums and got kind of obsessed. this movie was great, if you are in anyway an abba fan, you should see this. it’s kind of a documentary of their 1976 australian tour, with the “story” of a reporter who needs to get an interview with them. above recommended but not quite highly recommended.

beowulf – we mostly watched this out of curiosity. it was a good movie, but highly flawed. the animation of everything except the humans was impeccable. grendel and the dragon were both impressive, and the scenery and landscapes looked almost real. there are many unnecessary shot of scenery that are really just animatory wankery. the humans on the other hand seemed like mannequins that came to life, but still can’t quite move their eyes. so that was a little distracting. the animation company still needs more experience in perspectives. there were several scenes where the characters that were on different levels and one of them seemed giant. especially one scene involving a horse and a spear that was almost confusing. onto the story, which is what saved the movie. they only stray slightly from the original story. i have to give some credit to neil gaiman who wrote the script, this was much better than stardust.

ABBA – The Movie is the tenth-highest grossing Australian-made documentary film of all time in Australia, and the 110th highest-grossing documentary film overall.
