Ace Of Base: All That She Wants: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
The inside story of the Swedish pop group, from right-wing extremist threats to strife over music and money
Year: 2024
Certificate: pg
You may not think of the Swedish pop outfit Ace Of Base as record setters but their debut album - Happy Nation/The Sign - went into The Guinness Book Of World Records as the best-selling debut of all time. You may also not realise the story that lurks behind the success of the All That She Wants stars, which includes threats to band member Ulf Ekberg from right-wing extremists, fellow Ace Of Baser Jenny Berggren attacked in her own home by a German fan and the more familiar issues of disagreement over music and money that ultimately led to the group's end.
That disintegration feels all the trickier when you know that three of the quartet - Jenny, Jonas and Malin - were siblings. Over three episodes, we hear about their rise and fall from the band themselves, interspersed with home movies and diaries. It's the kind of documentary that presents you with a story you never knew you actually wanted to hear, but did. (Three episodes)
