Movie Reviews of ABBA: The Definitive Collection
Movie Review: my first ABBA concert
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this after watching "Mamma Mia". Thou I have enjoyed the Music of ABBA for years I had never seen them in concert or video. After watching the movie their vids performance seemed a bit drab and unenthusiastic,but still an interesting watch and something you can run over and over without devoting a lot of attenion.
Summary of ABBA: The Definitive Collection
For those who love Abba (and if you're reading this, chances are you do, even if you don't know it yet), Abba: The Definitive Collection represents a happy, joyous compilation of the Swedish supergroup's numerous videos. Granted, they all seem to have been filmed on the same soundstage (even the firelit "Fernando"), but they retain their appeal and infectious charm. Fans can thrill to these vintage clips, which provide an opportunity to rediscover who was the most natural in front of the camera (Agnetha), who was the best dancer (Anna-Frid, a.k.a. Frida), who was the most demure (Benny), and who was the worst lip-syncher (Bjorn--always Bjorn). Lass? Hallstrom, later an Oscar?-nominated filmmaker, directed most of the early videos, and it shows in their natural, no-fuss style; it wasn't until Abba tried to make the jump to '80s-style electronica that they faltered in both style and content. In addition to old standbys like "Waterloo" and "Take a Chance on Me," don't pass up the light-years-ahead-of-its time "The Day Before You Came," or the live performance of "Dancing Queen" (in period costume!) at the Royal Swedish Opera. To this we say: Thank you for the music--and the videos! --Mark EnglehartMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
