David McK (3632 KP) rated Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) in Movies
Jul 7, 2020
Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams starring Rom-Com, as the members of the Icelandic band 'Fire Saga', who get chosen (for plot reasons) to represent their country in 2020s Eurovision Song Contest, which is being held in Scotland for some reason(?!).
Yes, the actual 2020 Eurovision competition itself was cancelled due to Covid-19.
As for the film: after a slow(ish) setting the scene start, it picks up once Lars and Sigrit make it to the song contest, and with the introduction of Dan Stevens completely-over-the-top Russian entrant - the firm favourite to be the winner of said competition - alongside a whole host of actual Eurovision nods and winks.
And Graham Norton.
Yes, that Graham Norton.
(although he may be more familiar to UK watchers than to others)
