Those mourning the back of Eurovision
for another year can feed their carnal desire for all things
eurotrashy with this (actually fairly serious) documentary charting
the incredible career of Agnetha, Sweden’s ‘girl with the golden
hair’ and one quarter of one of the world’s biggest selling
bands, ABBA.
Her singing career took off well before
ABBA formed and she sold tens of thousands of her self-penned debut
single before she had even laid eyes on future husband, Bjorn.
A very publicly painful divorce from
her bandmate and a lukewarm reception to her comeback solo career,
however, saw Agnetha retreat from the public eye, scarred by her
meteoric fame.
Interviews with Bjorn himself, fellow
ABBA star, Benny, and Gary Barlow, among others, make for an intimate
and revealing portrait of this generational icon.
