Review: No Distance Left To Run



More than just a tour diary following this film also documents the rise and fall of Britpop trailblazers Blur and their eventual return to the top with a pair of sold out shows at London's Hyde Park.

Alex James' hedonistic past is well documented in his book A Bit of a Blur, so whilst he and drummer Dave Rowntree get to say their pieces, the film shows how the friendship between Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon was always central to the band's fortunes. With plenty of detail for fans, the fact that Blur so ubiquitous during Britpop's heyday means that this is also film for everyone to enjoy.
