“Songs contain pockets of energy from your past life which is released when you perform them again. It’s real time travel.” Mubi has unveiled the main official trailer for the music biopic documentary titled Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore?, profiling the iconic band known as Pulp. Last year they released a new reunion album, titled More, and toured the world playing arenas and stages everywhere. This doc covers that experience and follows them around on the road, as they reconnect with fans worldwide. It’s also a look back at the band (formed in Sheffield, UK in 1978) and all they’ve been through over the years. Charting the Sheffield band’s extraordinary journey from obscurity to cultural touchstone. Fusing amazing footage from Pulp’s biggest ever arena show with four decades of colourful, never-seen-before archival material. Directed by filmmaker Garth Jennings and narrated by legendary frontman Jarvis Cocker. This looks like a blast!
