PULP: What Do You Do For an Encore?

Book Now Book Now

In the spirit of Stop Making Sense and The Last Waltz, director Garth Jennings (Sing; The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) crafts a kinetic 90-minute movie that fuses the spectacle of Pulp’s arena show with four decades of colourful archival material, charting Pulp’s extraordinary journey from obscurity to cultural touchstone. Narrated by Pulp’s iconic frontman, Jarvis Cocker, and featuring twenty songs — hits and deep cuts — this movie is Pulp and Garth’s spectacular answer to the question, “What do you do for an encore?”
