Oasis: Supersonic

[projekktor id=’25846′]

Oasis: Supersonic is a documentary directed by Mat Whitecross (The Road to Guantanamo). The film already premiered in the United Kingdom, opening in fifth at the box office and earning $916,190 over the last month.

From the Academy Award®-winning producers of Amy and Senna comes this essential and entertaining look at the meteoric rise of the seminal 90s rock band Oasis. The film immerses us in the raucous rock stars’ fast-paced world of electrifying music, wild debauchery, and epic fraternal feuding, weaving never-before-seen concert footage with candid interviews and an astonishing firsthand account of the backstage sibling rivalry that threatened to destroy the band.

In an interview with Vice, Whitecross talked about the film’s focus on the band’s early years. “Every band you can think of, it’s the first two or three years that define them. They can go on to become the Rolling Stones or become [terrible pastiche Britpop band] Menswear, but that moment is the prism through which you can really see what they’re like. Afterward—and even Noel and Liam said this—there comes a point when you just become a big band.”

Oasis: Supersonic is rated 14A.
