On Sunday, September 8 at 9:10 p.m., 6ter broadcasts Oh mama ! A successful film in which Pierce Brosnan contributed, while paying tribute to his father.
Before becoming a hit film in 2008, Oh mama ! has made its mark on stages around the world. A musical comedy by Catherine Johnson, it celebrated the repertoire of the cult group ABBA for the first time on April 6, 1999 in London. A crazy project, keeping the hits of the Swedish group at the top of the charts more than ever, which has toured nearly 200 cities, and that, in no less than eight languages! In the cinema, the director Phyllida Lloyd has taken over, adapting the show with a high-flying cast composed of Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried and Pierce Brosnan. The latter mentioned for whom this is a special project…
Oh mama ! : romantic fable under the sign of ABBA
Oh mama ! shares a funny family story, that of Sophie, 20 years old and her mother Donna. While the young woman is about to marry Sky, the man of her life, she is going to ask her mother: who is her father? On the Greek island where the wedding is planned, Donna, having always refused to approach the subject with her, is going to grit her teeth. Finally, Sophie is going to invite three of the most important gentlemen in her mother’s life: Sam, Harry and Bill. Three men who do not know each other, but who are going to land together on the famous island, happy to meet Donna…
Pierce Brosnan saw a sign in his adoptive father’s disappearance
With Oh mama !former James Bond Pierce Brosnan has proven once again that he is capable of playing on all terrains. However, as he revealed in the film’s press kit, he was stressed by the idea of chaining dance steps and singing sessions in the studio: “I felt a real terror at the thought of it. I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous for a role. In the end, I gave it my all and had a blast. It’s very exhilarating to sing and express your emotions in that way.” It should be noted that it was after seeing the musical that he decided to say yes to this project, but with a very specific request: to play the role of Sam Carmichael. The actor, a few months before filming, had lost his adoptive father, William Carmichael, which he interpreted as a sign.
