Quote:

Live Forever: The Rise and Fall of Britpop is a 2003 documentary film written and directed by John Dower. The documentary is a study of popular culture in the United Kingdom during the mid to late 1990s. The focus of the piece, is British popular music (or "Britpop") which underwent a resurgence during the mid-1990s and then seemingly retreated with similar haste towards the end of that decade.

The political landscape of the time also feautures. Much is made of Tony Blair and New Labour's efforts to align themselves with the distinctly British cultural resurgence that was underway. The documentary features a number of prominent UK musical and artistic figures, but relies heavily on contributions from Noel & Liam Gallagher of Oasis, Damon Albarn of Blur and Jarvis Cocker of Pulp. Other contributors inclued 3D from Massive Attack, Louise Wener from Sleeper, fashion designer Ozwald Boateng and modern artist Damien Hirst.

I saw this yesterday and I thought it was pretty good. I was born in 1988 and thus missed out most of the Britpop-era. For almost a year I've listened to oasis, but I knew little about their backgrounds. This documentary summed it up pretty clear to me. I can recommend it to anyone.

This came out a few years ago. Great documentary! It also has bonus features of an oasis tribute band on tour. Really funny!

One of Noels best quotes is in this doco. About SClub7 and how he thought they were kids with special needs on a day out at the studio and how Liam and everyone knew there names.

Also worth watching for the big fuck off chair Noel sits in while interviewed. Class.
