Blur: No Distance Left To Run

“No Distance Left to Run” is a feature length rockumentary that follows the band throughout their summer tour. It was the first time in years that Blur rejoined forces to play together — and you can bet enough happened in between that time to fill up notebooks worth of song lyrics.

However, the movie also focuses on their successful, yet rocky past as brothers; brothers in the sense of their bond as opposed to their blood. You see, the band members all have sisters but no biological brothers. The film starts off with Blur explaining how close they are. But they’re also distant to each other in a way only brothers can be.

Blur fans will be happy to know the movie doesn’t go more than five or 10 minutes without some music. This makes perfect sense judging by the number of hits Blur produced between the late ‘80s and early 2000’s.


The documentary also features exclusive interviews with all four band members along with unseen archival material. Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace don’t shy away from asking lead singer Damon Albarn and the band about his highly publicized romance and brake-up with singer Justine Frischmann, the complicated dynamics between Albarn and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon and of course, their chart battles with Oasis.
