8/10
A PULP-tastic delight.
9 September 2014
FILM REVIEW: 'Pulp: A Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets' Working alongside Pulp's lead singer, Jarvis Cocker, one-of-a-kind Kiwi treasure, Florian Habicht delivers a beautifully edited movie that's part documentary, part live concert recording, and all about the 'Common People' of Pulp's biggest hit. For me, it's the most enjoyable concert movie since Jonathan Demme's 'Stop Making Sense.'

A loving travelogue through Sheffield on the day of Pulp's last reunion gig, with a focus on ordinary people that renders them extraordinary. From a local girls soccer team sponsored by the band, and adoring Pulp fans of all ages, to the impossibly gangly, tea-sipping, flat-tyre-changing Jarvis himself, this is a funny, delightful and heart-warming tribute to a band, a city and the common folk wandering its streets.
