About Det svenska schlagerkriget
After ABBA won Eurovision in 1974 Sweden was tasked with hosting it the next year. This documentary tells the story of that production and places it in the social and political context of Sweden in 1975 and a music scene that was anything but supportive of the endeavour.
Directed by Oskar Anesten, Ulf Karlén, Det svenska schlagerkriget leans on a strong ensemble — Björn Skifs, Karin Falck, Jan Gradvall — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2024.
