ABBA in Switzerland

About This Movie

So, ABBA in Switzerland, huh? It's this 1979 TV special, and you can really feel the vibe they were going for—capturing that alpine charm while they belt out their hits. The Swiss Alps serve as this stunning backdrop, really enhancing the performances. The pacing flows nicely, balancing between their music and little moments of scenic beauty. And then you’ve got Kate Bush and Roxy Music adding their own flair, which is pretty neat. The atmosphere is a blend of glamour and a bit of that vintage 70s vibe, making it a distinct watch, especially if you appreciate that era's musical style.

This TV special has seen limited home video releases over the years, which adds to its collector appeal. It’s not as readily available as some of their concert films, making it a nice find for those who appreciate both ABBA and the surrounding artistic context of the late 70s. Many collectors also seek out rare broadcasts, as the specific performances and guest appearances create a unique snapshot of that musical time.
