It seems only fitting for Blur to do a victory lap, now that their long-running rivals Oasis have (finally) called it quits. And what better way to do so than in a feature-length documentary chronicling the band’s formation, rise to international fame, dramatic breakup and eventual reconciliation/reunion?
