** Russian Rooting
------------------------------------------------------------
A striking change came over Moscow just hours after Donald Trump’s surprise election: suddenly, the Russian capital was a hotbed of zealous supporters of the US electoral process, as the
Washington Post’s David Filipov and Andrew Roth report (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/09/yes-we-did-russias-establishment-basks-in-trumps-victory/?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=74d85e84b6-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_11_09&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-74d85e84b6-145367789) .

The new Oasis documentary “Supersonic” is a fantastic rock doc chronicling the first two years of the iconic British band’s rise in the early 1990s. One of the greatest selling rock groups off all time, fans of the band crave a reunion. The band broke up in 2009 due to the acrimonious relationship between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher but the years explored in “Supersonic” are the glory days—including performing before 500,000 screaming fans at Knebworth.

The archival footage and previously unseen photos of the band are satisfying, but the technique of off camera interviews utilized by director Mat Whitecross is what I liked most. Liam and Noel never appear on camera as talking heads. You hear their story through their own words but via audio only while rich footage of the band hums along visually. Oasis was an incredibly visual band and talking head interviews wouldn’t have served them well.

Now the only question is: when’s the reunion tour so we can watch them do their thing live (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iul4SBlHIf8&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=74d85e84b6-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_11_09&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-74d85e84b6-145367789) ?
