The film stars the members of ABBA and was captured by director Lasse Hallströmduring the group’s mega-successful 1977 Australian tour. The now cult-classic music film provides a rare look at the hugely popular group during the height of their popularity and includes 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 movie’s subplot is a mockumentary-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. “ABBA: The Movie”DCP was remastered from IP and scanned at 2K resolution.
