No Distance Left To Run sees the four original members of Blur together for their 2009 rehearsals and acclaimed summer tour. Featuring previously unseen archive material alongside revealing new interviews and reportage, it recounts the highs and lows of a very British band – from small gigs at Colchester and Goldsmiths, to their headline return at Glastonbury and Hyde Park. thirtytwo’s compelling film is the story of an English band, and a portrait of enduring friendship and resolution.

Giorgio Testi directed Blur’s live performance at their spectacular July 2009 Hyde Park Show. These huge comeback gigs were definitely one of the highlights of the music calendar last year, captured with an 18-camera set-up that required careful preparation and orchestration by Giorgio and the Pulse team. It offers an intimate view of the band’s performance whilst also capturing the scale of the occasion.

No Distance Left To Run is a seriously good doc, it’s uplifting and kind of moving, too, especially all the talk of the audience reaction to ‘Tender’ at the reunion gigs.
