Roxette Diaries
Everything (and more) happened to Roxette between 1986 and 1995. Hundreds of hours of film was recorded during the magic years and the ambition was to capture "everything". Come along into the studio, backstage, on the rehearsals and the concerts. These are the private videos from one of the biggest bands in history, directed by Jonas Åkerlund.
Rox Fans Only @dandunrheed
You will enjoy this if you’re an avid Roxette fan - not a PodcastPolice wanne-be filmmaker. Yes, it might not be in true doccie format, but then again, who needs ‘formats’ when you have memories. Thanks for the Joyride Roxette.
Not a documentary by any means! @PodcastPolice
Ninety minutes of home video, distilled from hundreds of hours, stitched together in chronological order. No narration, no interviews with the band, no context, no attempt to explain anything that’s happening on the screen – just 90 minutes of backstage, onstage, awards, personal appearances, video shoots, all totally random events with no attempt to explain what they are. Most of the dialog isn’t in English, so subtitles would’ve been nice. This type of format works for about three minutes, but we get an entire film of that here. We don’t know who most of the people on the screen are, where (and why) most of the action is taking place, only (sometimes) the date, as it’s date stamped on the original video. About as interesting as watching a relative’s home movies. Except these people have much cooler hair.
American Roxette @Emeraldtiger1
90 mind of disappointment this documentary was made for Swedish fans I realize there American record company messed things up for them but why take it out on the American fans we bought the records too I have been a fan for years but I’m disappointed by the way Roxette is to there American fans
Best ever! @Lizicoanta
Amazing footage! An inside into the lives of Roxette. It doesn’t get any better than that! It was all that I hoped to be, and more. I’ve watched it twice so far and can’t get enough. Precious moments throughout their career, and little glimpses into our beloved Marie & Per’s lives. Ofen times I pause on Marie’s face and cry. Then I push “play” and I’m there with them, experience it all from the beginning. If you love Roxette as much as I do and if you are a true fan, you will love this. I guarantee it!
