Venice, Italy — The Gallagher brothers brought rock star energy to the Venice Film Festival on Saturday with the world premiere of their documentary, Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger. Skipping the traditional news conference, they made a splash by waving to photographers instead.
The documentary serves as both a concert film and an exploration of the complex relationship between Noel and Liam Gallagher, whose feud led to Oasis’s dramatic split in 2009. Noel famously described Liam as “the angriest man you’ll ever meet,” while Liam expressed feelings of betrayal regarding the band’s breakup to The Guardian in 2018.
Founded in Manchester in 1991, Oasis became a defining British band of the 90s, achieving massive success with albums like Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? The film delves into their hit songs, primarily penned by Noel, and includes previously unseen rehearsal footage and their first joint interview in 25 years.
After a 16-year hiatus, the brothers reunited in 2025 for a tour that began in Cardiff, Wales, and drew a crowd of over 60,000 fans. Filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace aimed to capture the brothers’ dynamic during rehearsals and while on tour, emphasizing the enduring power of Oasis’s music.
The documentary will hit theaters soon, with an IMAX release scheduled for September 11 and a planned arrival on Disney+ later this year.
