“Steve died today, a loss which has left myself, his son Marley, parents Kath and Paul, sister Michelle and many friends all heartbroken. Steve was the most talented man I have ever known, an exceptional musician, producer, photographer and filmmaker.”

Pulp: a Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets
Directed by Florian Habicht
UK, 2014
Perhaps the new documentary Pulp: a Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets is best summed up by Pulp’s frontman, Jarvis Cocker: “Life is a random process, but you can add narrative to it.” Director Florian Habicht tries to impose a narrative upon his mishmash of concert footage, band interviews, and fan testimonials, but it never coalesces. Ultimately, some top-notch concert cinematography, a few intriguing visuals, and Cocker’s delightful cheekiness make this a must-see for Pulp fans, and a must-skip for general audiences.
Sometimes, you can go home again. After taking an impromptu nine-year hiatus in the 2000s, the seminal alt-rock band Pulp re-assembled in 2011 to “tidy things up.” The ensuing European tour culminates with one last electrifying performance in the band’s hometown of Sheffield. Interviews with band members make it clear that, despite...

The 21st edition of Sheffield Doc/Fest kicked off last night with the European premiere of Florian Habicht’s documentary Pulp: A Film About Life, Death And Supermarkets, about Britpop band Pulp.
It was one of three opening films being screened in Sheffield last night, together with Rehad Desai’s South African documentary Miners Shot Down and Thomas Balmes’ Bhutan set documentary Happiness.

The Pulp screening took place at Sheffield’s City Hall and was broadcast to 120 cinemas around the UK, including the BFI Southbank.
Speaking to the packed City Hall audience, festival director Heather Croall said: “About 18 months ago I met the film director and film producer down the road in the pub and we agreed right there and then that this film was going to open the festival in a year and a half and that...

Director: Florian Habicht; Starring: Jarvis Cocker, Mark Webber, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, Steve Mackey and the people of Sheffield; Running time: 90 mins; Certificate: 12A
Forming in 1978 and releasing their first album It in 1983, Pulp became the slowest-burning overnight success in history when the double-whammy of His 'n' Hers and Different Class made them pop superstars in 1994/95.
But rather than trudge us through the Fire to the Promised Island, director Florian Habicht instead picks - more or less - a single day in the Pulp story. December, 8, 2012 - the band's homecoming show after their reunion the year before.
Most of the film is made up of chats (it'd be over-formalising them to call them interviews) with the band, their fans, and the people of Sheffield. By narrowing his film's focus, Habicht has made a tender, charming life in the day of a unique band in British pop.

Pulp have announced that they will reform to play shows at both Wireless and the Primavera Festival in 2011.

I have a prediction. Okay, so it’s not really a prediction as much as it is a pipe-dream. The folks behind the new Doctor Who catch wind of the reaction to his new ‘look’ and decide on a wardrobe makeover. I know, I know, some of you like it (fools), but to me it just doesn’t jive with the youthful new image I was expecting from Doctor Who. Oh, to heck with being diplomatic about it – he looks silly! Suspenders? Really?
When it was first announced that a younger dude would be playing Doctor Who, I braced for the kvetching about how our “Youth Obsessed Culture” was ruining everything, and it came. In fact, it came close to home. My wife, who is no old fuddy-duddy, was outraged at the idea of some twenty-something taking the sonic screwdriver duties. I understand the anxiety, David Tennant was one of...
