Live Forever: The Rise and Fall of Brit Pop
Starring: Noel and Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker
Director: John Dower
The film: Ask a Briton about the music scene of the 1990s and chances are their eyes will go all dewy. And for good reason. The generation that followed the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones didn't have that much to crow about until - director John Dower would have us believe - The Stone Roses took to the stage at Spike Island in 1990. From then on, everything changed - and the Brit-pop phenomenon was born.
Dower interviews major players from the bands that helped forge the scene, throws in live and studio footage to chart the movement's impact on British society, and adds the views of the likes of artist Damien Hirst and author Jon Savage to add intellectual weight to the argument.
At the heart of it all are interviews with Liam and Noel Gallagher, Damon Albarn and Jarvis Cocker - each giving their own spin on how their bands (Oasis, Blur and Pulp, respectively) came to be, and what they went through on their way to the top of the charts.
