A-ha The Movie
In the first part of my interview with Thoman Robsahm about A-ha The Movie, we discussed how he engaged with Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Pål Waaktaar, and what he learned about how these very different personalities interacted. We talked about the vast scope of the project, which charts the band’s story across four decades, and how it was important to him to keep the focus on the music. In this second part, we discuss the band’s own musical influences, their various artistic side projects, and how he went about filming them onstage.
He almost left out the side projects, he says, because it would have been the obvious thing to drop if the film was too long, “but I feel that since this is a band so much about the different personalities. In some bands, you could argue that some of the members bring a lot less into.

A boy who, at the age of three, discovered that he could sing anything he wanted to, that his voice would just soar. Another who made drums out of carboard tubes and performed out on the balcony of his parents’ flat. A third, his neighbour, who loved guitar. Perhaps it was inevitable that they would find each other. They played together in high school. After leaving, Pål Waaktaar (now Pål Waaktaar-Savoy) and Magne Furuholmen moved to London to pursue their dream of becoming rock stars. When it didn’t work out, they persuaded Morten Harket to join them. When it still didn’t work out, they persevered, constantly changing their look and their management and their videos until suddenly, Take On Me was a worldwide hit. The three teenagers realised how far out of their depth they were only when they were number one in the US and there was no looking.

If anyone can make terminal illness funny, it’s probably five-time Emmy winner Candice Bergen.

British singer Adele has yet again proven herself to be a family friendly version of Amy Winehouse by recording a theme to a James Bond film, by (unlike the late Ms. Winehouse) actually getting the song recorded. And yeah, the song Skyfall (from the new James Bond film, the name of which I’m drawing a blank on…) sounds like the same kind of bland crap that normally gets made for these films. Just when I thought they’d maybe turned a corner with the Jack White-performed theme song from Quantum of Solace (perhaps the theme songs are inversely correlated with the quality of the films), which was so catchy that I could actually slap the meat curtains to it, as the common phrase goes.
