Following Mags, Morten and Pål over a period of four years, a-ha: The Movie provides unprecedented access to the inner workings of the band as well as a career-spanning look at one of the most enduring and beloved acts in pop music history.

From teenage dreamers with empty wallets and one-way tickets from Norway to London, to international superstars with one of the most iconic and enduring pop songs ever to be recorded, a-ha’s sudden and meteoric rise to fame was extraordinary.

Forty years, ten studio albums and 55 million record sales later, the band still tour – but their connection is tenuous. They travel the world in separate cars and only meet on stage to perform.

Directors Thomas Robsahm and Aslaug Holm grant a candid insight into the ‘Take on Me’ hitmakers’ process, their astonishing live performance showmanship and their openly turbulent interrelationships off-stage.

★★★★ “Few music documentaries get as close to the mechanics of interactive creative processes as this… it’s a must.” - Eye For Film
