Description

This Film Should Be Played Loud: See new, classic and rare concert films on the big screen.

From the Academy Award–winning producers of Amy comes this tremendously enjoyable rock ‘n roll doc about the wildly successful English band, Oasis. Director Mat Whitecross charts the band’s meteoric rise out of total obscurity to mega-stardom, as well as their eventual fall. Brothers and bandmates Liam and Noel Gallagher’s volatile rivalry and frequent clashes are world famous and here provide ample fodder for dynamic cinema. Whitecross keeps things fresh by overlaying contemporary audio interviews over archival footage of the band. Like the Gallaghers themselves, Whitecross’s film is big, brash, entertaining and overflowing with catchy tunes.

Arrive early as Moe Berg spins Britpop for one hour prior to the start of the screening.
