Fish meet philosophy on Ninety Mile Beach. Having caught the Far North at play in Kaikohe Demolition, local film-maker Florian Habicht returned to film them fishing on Ninety Mile Beach at the ‘Snapper Classic’ - the world’s largest Snapper fishing contest. “The brain is a multi-faceted thing that thinks about all sorts of things, mostly bullshit - whereas a fish doesn’t, a fish only thinks about eating, reproduction, and staying alive. A bit like the kiwi male, probably.” Muses local fi sherman Neil Moody in the film.
Pulp found fame on the world stage in the 1990s with anthems including ‘Common People’ and ‘Disco 2000’. 25 years (and 10 million album sales) later, they return to Sheffield for their last UK concert. Giving a career-best performance exclusive to the film, the band members share their thoughts on fame, love, mortality — & car maintenance. Director Florian Habicht (Love Story) weaves together the band’s personal offerings with dream-like specially-staged tableaux featuring ordinary people recruited on the streets of Sheffield. Pulp is a music film like no other — by turns funny, moving, life-affirming & (occasionally) bewildering.
An innocent rubbish tip assistant, Gert, is given the task of escorting a beautiful mute "princess", Plum, on a perilous journey to meet her prospective husband. Their journey is fraught with danger, challenges, romance and discovery. In surreal action, they encounter a menagerie of characters and animals in far-flung corners of New Zealand.
