The new Pulp film is coming to Canadian theatres in September

While nowhere near as big as Oasis getting back together, the Pulp reunion was a big deal to the fans of Jarvis Cocker and Co. There’s a film about it, of course, called What Do You Do For An Encore?

Running 90 minutes, it covers the reunion tour and features plenty of never-before-seen background stuff that’s narrated by Jarvis himself. Some people are drawing a comparison to Talking Heads’ unbeatable Stop Making Sense concert film. Steady, now. That’s a bold claim.

Here’s the trailer. Watch for a one-night-onlyl screening in Canadian cinemas in mid-September. There will also be a companion live album, unambiguously entitled Live!
