Overview
Local documentary maker Florian Habicht (Kaikohe Demolition and Love Story) returns with a film which examines the enduring popularity of the Sheffield band, with a little help from band members, family and fans on the street. Interviewees include school kids, a newspaper vendor, a knife-maker and middle-aged women who used to lust after frontman Jarvis Cocker back in the '90s.
The film builds up to the 2012 Sheffield concert promoted as Pulp’s last ever. But the people of the town come close to stealing the show with their responses to Habicht's questions on love, life and the meaning of Jarvis. The live performances are spectacular and Cocker entertains in his distinctive wry and self-deprecating way. On fame he says "it didn't agree with me – like a nut allergy".
