"Sheffield: Sex City" a film about life, death & supermarkets.
Sheffield, 1988, ‘The Day That Never Happened’. Following a disastrous
farewell show in their hometown, PULP move to London in search of
success. ...展开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
ordinary 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) "Sheffield: Sex City"
is a music-film like no other – by turns funny, moving, life-affirming &
(occasionally) bewildering – it contains virtually no sex at all.
Go figure.
