Ebba the Movie

Encyclopedia : E : EB : EBB : Ebba the Movie

Ebba the Movie is a Swedish film from 1982 by director and writer Johan Donner. It is a documentary about the Swedish punk rock band Ebba Grön.

The film includes a lot of live music and interviews with the band’s members. It starts in Rågsved, a working class suburb of Stockholm, and follows Ebba Grön on tour around Sweden until the band returns to Rågsved.

The band Dag Vag also participates in a part of the movie.

There are two versions of the film. When released in 1982, the movie was originally 78 minutes long. Johan Donner later cut down the film to a 52 minutes version which he called the Hardcore version.

The title of the film is a reference to the 1977 documentary film [[ABBA: The Movie]], featuring fellow Swedes ABBA. The reference is intended to be ironic, since Ebba Grön's style is very different to that of ABBA.
