5.0 out of 5 stars Must Buy!! FANTASTIC!!!, 12 Feb 2006

By	Natalie King (Warwickshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have the Frida Dvd and i must say - it was nothing like i expected. I never expected to get so much on this wonderful dvd. You must buy it if you are a Frida fan!! :-)

Frida talks for about 2 hours, answering all questions with detail and loving memories. She laughs and jokes and remembers the fun times she had as a solo artiste in the 60s and the wonderful times she had with ABBA. She talks about her tragic losses in her husband and daughter, never faltering, never saying "This is too hard to talk about or this is too private to go into". She speaks honestly and truly.

She talks about her albums and making them and the songs she chose and why. She speaks about Mamma Mia and even how she is still in contact with Agnetha and how they have a sisterly relationship. She speaks with such fondness of ABBA - it's such a joy to watch.

There are many, many rare video clips from shows starting with her very first tv appearance singing En Ledig Dag as a shy and quiet young girl to after ABBA when she was co-presenting on Lite Grand i Orat. There are wonderful clips such as Baby Love, My Man, Shot Down in Action, Just One of Those Things, Fire and Ice, Min Soldat, Aquarius and many more!! There are fantastic documentaries from the making of the Shine album with Phil Collins and also the Djupa Andetag album with Anders Glenmark. Both taking you behind the scenes and following the whole recordings of both albums, emotions - tears, laughs and all.

If you have ever had any questions that you wanted to know about Frida - you'll find the answers here. Frida is no doubt truly happy and comfortable with her life now. The Dvd interview with Frida filmed in the Summer of 2005 in Zermatt, Switzerland. Her friends Heinz Julien and Urs Beiner both talk about their love for Frida and how she is the most wonserful person. About how she gets them up to go skiing early in the morning and mountain climbing and how they drag her out clubbing late at night.

This is the true insight of Frida, you won't get any closer than this :-) Any fans dream come true!

5.0 out of 5 stars Frida The DVD is a must for all ABBA Fans, 16 Feb 2009

By	S. V. Kerry - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a long time fan of Abba and it's individual members this DVD focusing completely on Frida is something every fan should see. There's a great collection of rare stuff as well as the stunning promotional documentries for her solo work including "Djupe Andetag". Recording of her 1982 "Somethings Going On" album shows a different side of Frida and during her work with Phil Collins she appears distant from all involved in that project.Presumably the end of Abba and her marriage to Benny Andersson weighed heavily on her at this point. The most recent interview with Frida shows a woman who has survived many tragedys and today appears as a very intelligent and warm person. If I were to critisise this DVD in anyway, the omission of her early '90's performances of "Saltwater" and "What A Wonderful World"(with Marie of Roxette)would be my only real negatives. This is a brilliant three hour delight and worth every penny.
As a career retrospective virtually everything there is to know professionally about Frida is included here and the presentation of the dvd and it's chapters is excellent.
