Blur: To the End

“The Blur fan does not want for documentaries. From the ramshackle Starshaped in 1993 to the slick New World Towers in 2015, this is a band that knows what the camera wants: deadpan daftness and onstage hijinks interspersed with melancholic reflections on age and Englishness. The band are back together again after a second prolonged estrangement, and they have a new dragon to slay: Wembley stadium. ‘Ours is a brotherhood that has been sustained by a musical relationship… Music is a complete abandonment of the ego, and you’re just one of billions of atoms in that space.” Ryan Gilbey
