Sales outfit LevelK has acquired world rights to award winning director Jonas Åkerlund’s documentary Roxette Diaries following one of the 80’s and 90’s biggest pop bands.

 1986 – 1995 were the magic years and encouraged by Per’s wife, Roxette recorded hundreds of hours of self shot video material presenting an intimate portrait and an unique insight into the world of pop life.

All in all I gave about 180 Hi-8/VHS-tapes to director Jonas Åkerlund and asked him if he and his team could do something special with it. Maybe create a movie that captured the spirit of Roxette in the early days as well as being honest, silly and fun to watch. Hey, I think they succeeded. Enjoy the Roxette Diaries.” – Per Gessle
