Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, September 5, for a documentary that follows Oasis from years of hostility to a global reunion tour.
“Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger” is screening out of competition at the festival. Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the film follows the brothers through rehearsals and stadium shows as their relationship gradually changes.
What the documentary covers
The film begins with a reunion that is still visibly tense. Reuters reported that Liam barely acknowledges the people around him at his first rehearsal and leaves without saying goodbye.
As the tour moves through Britain, Ireland, the Americas, Asia and Australia, the focus expands from the band to the audiences supporting the comeback. The filmmakers said they tried to remain unobtrusive and let the reconciliation unfold rather than stage emotional moments.
A family story inside the band story
One of the documentary's more personal threads concerns the Gallagher children, who had not met before the tour but quickly became friends. By the end, Noel describes Liam as “delightful” — a small line that carries weight because of the brothers' long public feud.
Screenwriter Steven Knight framed the film around reconciliation, redemption and forgiveness. That gives the project a wider appeal than a conventional concert movie or backstage collection.
Why the Venice premiere matters
Oasis helped define British music in the 1990s, and the band's breakup became almost as famous as its songs. The reunion tour therefore attracted audiences across generations and continents.
Presenting the documentary at Venice positions the comeback as both a major music event and a film story. It also gives the title global visibility while the 83rd festival continues through September 12.
What is confirmed about release
The Venice screening is confirmed, but the Reuters report did not announce a general theatrical or streaming release date. Fans should be cautious with social posts claiming a platform or worldwide date unless the filmmakers, distributor or band confirms it.
For now, the clearest takeaway is that the movie is less about recreating Oasis mythology and more about watching two brothers learn how to work together again.
