From inspiring a whole musical in 'Mamma Mia' to being used as character development tools, ABBA's music was made for film.
In 1974, two couples wearing glitter and go-go boots sang about Napoleon on TV and rocked the whole world. ABBA, a Swedish pop group, won the European music competition, Eurovision, with the song “Waterloo” spreading iconic pop songs around the globe. Known for their classic hits like “Mama Mia” and “Dancing Queen,” ABBA is just as popular today as they were when they won Eurovision. In 2021, the band reunited and released the album Voyage, their first album together in four decades.
Mamma Mia! Songs and albums are written to tell stories. Within albums, songs can be woven together to create a long-form story with characters, points of view, and themes like Folklore by Taylor Swift or Night at the Opera by Queen. But what ABBA has been able to do, is translate songs not only from one album but also from their entire collection into a longer story. And there is no piece of work that proves this more than the jukebox musical, Mamma Mia!, was written around ABBA songs.
ABBA As the Narrator The meta film Bergman Island uses ABBA as its own plot point, not as an accompaniment to a larger plot point. In a film within the film, Amy is being written into her own character. In one scene, the ABBA song “The Winner Takes It All” actually acts as the narrator. Lured onto the dance floor by the music, Amy feels one with the music as the dances and sings the words. As she says certain lines, certain things become clear to her.
ABBA in Australian Cinema Australian filmmaking specifically has had a close relationship with ABBA. In 1977, ABBA: The Movie came out chronicling ABBA’s tour through Australia. Much like with all the movies ABBA are featured in, not everything is pop-disco and shiny bell bottoms. The documentary shows how after the show is over, the band faces exhaustion and sexism.
