Review
For a few years during the 1990s,
British band Blur was defining the new cool for Britons and
Anglophiles, as the middle-class, middle-brow alternative to Oasis’
in-your-face working-class ethos, in what became known as ‘The
Battle of Britpop’, arguably to the ultimate detriment of both
bands. This new documentary about the band is unruly, repetitive,
and often unappealing, but it’s also contemplative, beautiful, and
ultimately triumphant. The sort of music documentary made for all
the right reasons and willing to get stuck in without resorting to
pure adulation. The band members and the music scene they once were
a part of (and to a certain degree still are), come across as
something of a curiosity in today’s world, making those of us who
were there to witness and experience it realise that pop music, such as it once
was,
arguably isn’t at all pop anymore. Like Blur themselves, the scene
they belonged to and largely defined, just appears to be holding on
to the end.
