Pulp Documentary Premieres on MUBI September 25

The 90-minute documentary Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore?, directed by Garth Jennings, will show in theaters worldwide on September 24 and release on MUBI on September 25. Narrated by Jarvis Cocker, the film features 20 songs and previously unseen archival footage spanning forty years. It focuses on the arena production during the tour for More, Pulp's first album in 24 years.

Pulp was formed in 1978 when Jarvis Cocker and guitarist Peter Dalton were young. Between 1983 and 2001, the group released seven albums, including Different Class. After disbanding in 2002, Pulp previously reunited to perform concerts between 2011 and 2013.

Director Garth Jennings first worked with Pulp on the 1997 music video for Help the Aged and on A Little Soul a year later. Jennings reached out to Cocker in 2022 after hearing rumors of a reunion. A plan to record comeback concerts in 2023 was initially canceled when funding collapsed, but the project was revived after Pulp recorded More.
