The Gallagher brothers brought some rock star energy to a sleepy and sweaty Venice Film Festival Saturday, where the documentary about their reunion tour made its world premiere. And like true rock stars, after giving a few waves for photographers on the Lido docks, they skipped the whole "news conference” bit.
"Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger,” is part concert film and part exploration of the contentious relationship between Noel and Liam Gallagher, whose long-held feud led to Oasis disbanding in 2009 in spectacularly theatrical fashion after a backstage altercation moments before they were due on stage in Paris.
Noel infamously said his brother is "the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”
Liam told the Guardian in 2018 that his brother "did me out, mate ... and I won’t forget that. He split the band up and it meant the world to me. Just to further his career.”
The band was founded in working-class Manchester, England, in 1991, and became one of the most popular British acts of the 1990s, hitting No. 1 with their debut album "Definitely Maybe” in 1994. Their 1995 follow up, "(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” became one of the U.K.’s bestselling albums of all time.
