PULP
Pulp: a Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets UK cinema release 7 June 2014 Directed by Florian Habic
Description
Sheffield, 1988, ‘The Day That Never Happened’. Following a disastrous farewell show in their hometown, PULP move to London in search of success. They find fame on the world stage in the 1990’s with anthems including ‘Common People’ and ‘Disco 2000’. 25 years (and 10 million album sales) later, they return to Sheffield for their last UK concert: what could go wrong?Giving a career best performance exclusive to the film, the band share their thoughts on fame, love, mortality - & car maintenance.
Director Florian Habicht (Love Story) weaves together the band’s personal offerings with dream-like specially-staged tableaux featuring people recruited on the streets of Sheffield.
Unveiling the deep affection that the inhabitants of Sheffield have for PULP, and the formative effect the town has had on the band’s music (& front-man Jarvis Cocker’s lyrics in particular) 'Pulp: a Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets' is a music-film like no other – by turns funny, moving, life-affirming & (occasionally) bewildering.

RECOMMENDED BY SANTA! HARDCORE, the Cinematic World of Pulp has been lovingly made by Paul Burges and Louise Colbourne. It also features a section written by Florian Habicht about the making of the PULP musical doco.
About the book: From the mid- to late 1990s, Paul Burgess was invited by Jarvis Cocker to document the British band Pulp, taking photographs during video shoots, live gigs and other events for what has become one of the landmark albums of the period, This Is Hardcore.
Co-written and designed by Burgess and Louise Colbourne, ‘Hardcore’, out now, contains a candid selection of previously unseen images of the band, behind the scenes and on set, of the four main video shoots made to promote the album.
With carefully curated images from Burgess’s archive, 'Hardcore' also includes quotations and interviews from then and now by the video directors, band members and other artists involved with the album.
