Ragnarock (1973)
Dette er den første norskproduserte musikkfilm, tatt opp i Holmenkollen søndag 17. juni 1973. Med.: Aunt Mary, Sigbjørn Berhoft Osa og Saft, Hvalsøespillemendene, Merit Hemmingson och Folkmusikgruppen, Prudence, Splash, Savage Rose, Culpeper's Orchard, Skin Alley, Mungo Jerry, Pretty Things, Burken och Rockfolket og Popol Vuh. Ideen bak Ragnarock er blant annet å vise sammenhengen mellom folkemusikkrytmer og rockerytmer. Derfor er det fortrinnsvis skandinaviske grupper som er med - og i filmens åpningssekvens spilles både norsk, dansk og svensk folkemusikk. Konserten foregikk søndag 17. juni 1973 ved Holmenkollbakken.

Highly Overrated But Still Good
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
In the spirit of Woodstock and other large scale music festivals of the period, Norwegian audiences finally got their own festival in June 1973. This was Ragnarock - actually named after Ragnarokk, the Norse version of the Armageddon - sporting a plethora of Norwegian, Scandinavian and also a few international artists.The movie is a 102 minute representation of this ambitious event, and it does indeed bear several similarities to the Woodstock movie. Although not quite as successful (both artistically and of course commercially, much due to the fact that the average standard of the featured artist may not be as high), this movie is still quite an entertaining piece of Norwegian cultural history. Worth seeing and hearing. Keep your eyes open for some great looking people, both on and off stage.
