Blur – No distance left to run review

Fans of Blur will love this film . Others, like myself, will consider it more than a little self-indulgent and crass. So I’m going to post my copy to a good mate and have done with it.

Actually that’s not really fair. Some of Blur’s music has been brilliant and I think the band try to be honest as possible about how they got to where they are. All stories about bands, and not even famous bands (see Anvil), are inherently fascinating – but in this film the director ends up  mythologizing instead of documenting. That’s why I think fans will love the film as a well-shot addition to their collection but as an outsider, I’m sorry to say, it’s all a little too rich for me..
