There’s a special energy that comes with the start of something new. There’s something invigorating about being involved in an emerging scene and watching it transform into something completely unexpected. That’s the idea that comes with director Mia Hansen-Løve‘s (Goodbye First Love, Father of My Children) fourth feature film Eden.
It tells the story of a young DJ named Paul (played by Félix de Givry) and his time spent in the electronic dance movement of Paris in the early’90s. With a passion for beats and turntables, he starts a DJ collective called Cheers and delves into the sex, drugs, and dance that come with the emerging scene. Together with his friends (two of which form the fictional version of Daft Punk), they experience the development of this branch of music and go along on a journey that transforms into something unrecognizable.
Eden is screening now at film festivals and will be released in limited release early next year.
