“Bonehead means the world to me!” gasps one Argentinian woman. She’s talking about her dog, named after the Oasis guitar-slinger. But still, you get the idea: Oasis have burrowed deep into people’s souls. For a group who trade in a sort of musical and lyrical zen simplicity, the Manchester rock band mean a lot of different things to a whole range of different people. From South Korea to south Wales, Don’t Look Back in Anger is a vivid emotional ride, documenting the on and off-stage passions unleashed by the Burnage lads as they embarked on their 2025 world tour.
From the Birmingham gangsters of Peaky Blinders to wild-man SAS pioneer Paddy Mayne, writer and director Steven Knight has rarely encountered a rough diamond that he didn’t want to make a film or TV series about.

Tales of warring brothers are as old as storytelling itself. And, even if it’s played up for the cameras, this one is a modern classic.
