"A brilliant blast of 90's nostalgia." A trailer has debuted for a new rock doc called Supersonic, all about the band Oasis. Their song "Wonderwall" is one of the most popular songs in movies and trailers, but this doc goes way beyond that to tell their entire life story. From the director of Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, and Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees, producers of the doc Amy, comes this in-depth look at the music of the Manchester-based rock band. This doc also reminds me of The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years, which is funny because this trailer has a quote referencing how they were "one of the biggest bands since the Beatles." This looks like it might be a great doc even for those who aren't fans of the band. Enjoy.
Here's the official UK trailer (+ poster) for Mat Whitecross' doc Supersonic, direct from YouTube:
From award-winning director Mat Whitecross, Supersonic tells the remarkable story of iconic band Oasis – in their own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive, Supersonic charts the meteoric rise of Oasis from the council estates of Manchester to some of the biggest concerts of all time in just 3 short years. This palpable, raw and moving film shines a light on one of the most genre and generation-defining British bands that has ever existed. Supersonic is directed by acclaimed English filmmaker Mat Whitecross, of the films The Shock Doctrine, The Road to Guantanamo, Ashes and Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll previously. The film hasn't premiered at any festivals, but will open in UK and Irish cinemas starting on October 2nd before hitting DVD/Blu-ray later that month. For more info, visit their Facebook. Any big fans of the band?
