Florian Habicht's documentary Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets is, without a doubt, only for fans of the British alt-rock act.
Pulp is ready to play what might be their final show in their hometown of Sheffield, England and this film documents both the band's day and all the *ahem* common people of all ages that inhabit the town. Some folks are ecstatic while others haven't the faintest idea who they are, which all make for some hilariously polarizing conversations. While most of the world see Pulp as glamorous Pip-pip rock stars, it's great to see a town full of people know them as those guys who used to work at the fish market.

It's a bit different from other standard music documentaries but this one has a big heart and a magnificent understanding of it's subjects and their fans which makes for a great, yet humble experience.

Buy it at the Tesco supermarket in exotic Sheffield, and make sure to pick up some tea and broken biscuits before leaving.
..but all in a polite orderly queue, like a good stiff upper-lipped pip-pip.
