The movie also follows the group’s “extraordinary journey from obscurity to cultural touchstone” through to the tour for their first album in 24 years, ‘More’ .

A highlight from the gig and the film is when Pulp take centre stage to perform a stripped-back performance of ‘Different Class’ highlight ‘Something Changed’ in tribute to their late, beloved bassist Steve Mackey .

“I do love it when they all come out together,” Jennings told NME .

“There was a moment when the four of them stood in front of a curtain and sang ‘Something Changed’.

I found that very moving, as that’s when you see the connection between them, told via how they got there by meeting up in a living room and seeing if they could still do it, but finding that they could.” The director continued: “There are lots of little shots of Steve from the past throughout the film, but overall he’s very much a part of it all.

I saw that new documentary on Martin Short [ Marty, Life Is Short ].

He’s lost a lot of people in his life, but he says the trick is to never let them go and keep them in your life.

“That may well be the way this works.

When you have these songs that are connected to Steve, then that’s going to keep him in our lives.” Steve Mackey and Jarvis Cocker of Pulp.

He had so many great haircuts.
