There is a different kind of electricity in the air today at the Lido for the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Alongside world-class directors and Hollywood stars, the spotlight is entirely captured by the special screening of Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, presented in the Open - Out of Competition section.
This documentary, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, is far more than just a music film. It offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most anticipated and sensational reunions in modern music history: their Live '25 Tour. Crucially, it features the very first joint interviews with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher after more than 25 years of silence, feuds, and separation.
1990s Britpop has, in its own way, evolved into a form of "modern folklore." There is something incredibly romantic and aesthetically powerful about seeing the Gallagher brothers—symbols of a raw, unfiltered British working-class culture—walking among the historic architecture and timeless elegance of the Venice Lido.
In a music industry currently dominated by streaming algorithms and pre-packaged pop, the return of Oasis represents a form of nostalgic resistance. It is a return to the authenticity of raw instruments and anthems that bridge generations. Venice, with its unique ability to foster a dialogue between historic heritage and the contemporary world, provides the ultimate backdrop.
While the documentary is set to hit theaters on September 10th, today the Lido pulses entirely to the rhythm of rock'n'roll.
