In December 2012, Jarvis Cocker, Steve Mackey, Candida Doyle, Mark Webber and Nick Banks walked on stage together for the last time, playing a farewell concert in front of an adoring home crowd at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena.
Granted exclusive access, director Florian Habicht marries immersive footage of the concert itself with an engaging portrait of the city that shaped the band, devised together with charismatic frontman Cocker.
The filmmaker traverses Sheffield’s high streets, council estates, markets and cafés, meeting everyone from cheerful pensioners to cross-dressing musicians as well as band members and fans, and teases out what is special about this city-sized village and its chart-topping offspring.
Segueing between interviews and live renditions of hits from ‘Do You Remember the First Time?’ to ‘Disco 2000′ to the inevitable multiple choruses of ‘Common People’, Pulp: A Film About Life, Death And Supermarkets is a fitting send-off for one the great British bands.
Includes live satellite Q&A with Jarvis Cocker, from Sheffield Doc/Fest.
