Pulp: Life, Death and Supermarkets

Whatever the reason, this truly is a film about life, death, and supermarkets, which means it's a far better film about Pulp than any mere record of their final concert would have been. ” Judy Berman Flavorwire

TPH Presents BEATS WORKING: A MUSIC DOC FESTIVAL

New Zealand filmmaker Florian Habicht (Love Story) captures British group Pulp as they perform their final reunion show in their hometown of Sheffield, blending interview and concert footage with his unique directorial sensibilities.

Having sold over 10 million albums over the course of their career, Pulp celebrated a different class of life to most of their Britpop contemporaries. Cocker’s skills as a musical storyteller drew on experiences throughout his life, so when the band unexpectedly reunited in 2011, it was only fitting that they ended these shows with a performance in their hometown Sheffield, a city that Habicht turns his eye to as much as the band itself.

BEATS WORKING is a music documentary film festival curated by Thornbury Picture House and it celebrates the year’s greatest music documentaries, hand picked from the best film festivals.
