New Oasis film captures band’s frosty reunion

Oasis, the iconic British rock band, reunited for their 2025 world tour, which was captured in a new documentary titled "Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger." The film premiered at the 83rd Venice Film Festival and showcases the frosty reunion of the band's Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel. The brothers' relationship has been strained for years, but the arrival of their children seemed to mend their volatile ties.

During a 15-year gap, Liam and Noel met for the first time in rehearsal ahead of their tour, with Liam expressing dissatisfaction with the acoustic shields on the drums. The documentary delves into the brothers' on-stage reconciliation and explores how their children's friendships played a crucial role in healing their relationship.

Despite the film's focus on the brothers' bond, it also briefly touches upon the band's tumultuous history, including a 2009 backstage fight in Paris. The documentary's creators, Steven Knight and the renowned music documentary makers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, faced challenges in capturing the brothers' volatile personalities, as the world was watching closely.

However, the film remains a feel-good experience, focusing on the positive aspects of the reunion while avoiding controversial topics such as ticket pricing and the 2009 break-up.
