Eden, “semi-biographical” film about the rise of the ‘French touch’ scene in 90’s Paris, has been screening at the Sundance Film Festival this week. The film, directed by Mia Hansen-Løve and co-written by Sven Hansen-Løve (Mia’s DJ brother, who the film is loosly based on) portrays the lives of several real-life DJ’s from the scene, most notably Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk – played by Arnaud Azoulay and Vincent Lacoste, respectively.

Via Tiff.net:

“The film captures the rise of dance music in Paris, Chicago, and New York — but via intimate moments in the company of young people who didn’t become Daft Punk. Instead, they gave everything in search of that intoxicating cocktail of euphoria and melancholy so often found in the club.”

The film uses three Daft Punk songs for its soundtrack, which appears to have been the high-profile duo’s way of approving the projects portrayal of them. Hansen-Løve said, “Without their consent, the project could not succeed.”
