Like all rock music documentaries it's an easier watch if you're a fan of the subject. Here is another Blur documentary, there's been a few over the years, which covers a year when they got back together, made a new album after eight years and went on tour culminating at Wembley. The four are all affable lads with Damon Albarn looking like a scruffy street trader (Albert Steptoe!!), Graham Coxon moaning about his dodgy knees and sounding like Dudley Moore, Alex James chain smokes the whole time and Dave Rowntree ends up on crutches! They all reflect and have opinions on various aspects of life and being English but the apparent deliberate decision to truncate all the songs lets the viewer and fan down aa tad. An interesting and engaging documentary from a very talented band although Pauline Black of Selecter has the most meaningful and thought provoking comment regarding the state of English society.
