The Venice Film Festival became ground zero for rock music fandom on Saturday evening as brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher debuted their documentary “Don’t Look Back in Anger” to an enthusiastic crowd. The film, which chronicles their landmark reunion tour, captivated the Palazzo del Cinema audience, who responded with an extraordinary eight-minute standing ovation. The Gallagher brothers joined hands and raised them skyward in celebration, with Noel appearing visibly emotional throughout the moment.
The screening itself proved to be more concert than typical film festival fare. Attendees clapped vigorously following musical performances featured in the documentary and sang along to iconic tracks like “Champagne Supernova,” with some audience members moved to tears. When the brothers descended into the crowd afterward to meet fans and sign autographs, the theater transformed into an energetic gathering reminiscent of a rock show, with admirers eagerly seeking photos and signatures.
The documentary marks the first time the estranged siblings have collaborated on an interview in over two decades. Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the film captures behind-the-scenes and onstage footage from their widely successful 2025 reunion tour, which generated hundreds of millions in revenue across multiple continents. The project premieres in theaters September 11 before arriving on Disney+ later this year, fueling speculation about potential future tour dates following hints from the band on social media.
