Liam and Noel Gallagher, to perhaps nobody’s surprise, aren’t ones for getting teary-eyed, even when reconciling after well over a decade apart.
So say Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, directors of the upcoming Disney+ documentary “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger,” speaking to Variety ahead of the film’s world premiere in Venice.
In early 2025, the pair, who were behind music docs “Shut Up and Play the Hits” and “Meet Me in the Bathroom,” were given the unique opportunity of capturing the years-in-the-making reunion between arguably the most famous — and famously feuding — brothers in rock and roll as they began rehearsals for what would become Oasis’ record-breaking and wildly-anticipated world tour.
“It was amazing to watch,” admits Lovelace. “It was so interesting hearing the music come together, having not heard them play as a band for 15/16 years, but also seeing them reconnecting. It was a privileged view.”
Unfortunately, privileged or not, that view wasn’t actually from within the studio, with the filmmakers having decided that, for the seismic and long-awaited reuniting of the Gallaghers, it was best if they simply weren’t there.
