The new film from Mia Hansen-Løve (THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN, GOODBYE, FIRST LOVE) is a semi-biographical drama about the rise of the 'French touch' electronic music scene in the 1990s, one that spawned worldwide superstars like Daft Punk and Cassius.
With a narrative spanning two decades, EDEN revolves around aspiring Parisian DJ, Paul, as he steps into the underground dance music scene. Raves dominate, but he's drawn to the more soulful rhythms of Chicago's garage house movement, dropping out of daytime society in his all-encompassing pursuit of ceaseless beats and bass, emotional and pharmaceutical highs, and a string of relationships.
EDEN is a spectacular panorama of beautiful faces and bodies, light, colour and music, pulsating with the reckless heartbeat of youth.
Language: French
English subtitles
"The entire film thumps along to an entrancing French touch garage soundtrack...constantly gripping, well worth a watch."
THE MUSIC
"Brilliantly realised. An unusually warm & perceptive look inside a world rarely handled well by cinema."
Paul MacInnes, THE GUARDIAN
"Insightful and involving...beautifully observed. EDEN is celebratory, cautionary and entirely intoxicating."
Katherine McLaughlin, THE LIST
"Fascinating. A love letter to the music and the scene surrounding it"
THE LOWDOWN UNDER
"I adore this...By turns powerfully melancholy and euphoric, spontaneous and lingering. Hansen-Løve's gentle touch is what makes it so delightful. Definitely recommended."
Jason Di Rosso, ABC RADIO NATIONAL
"Rides its techno-sonic wave with a restless intelligence...conveys its allure, in the electricity of the dance floor and the drug-assisted euphoria of light and sound."
NEW YORK TIMES
"Captures the mood of this youthful time of life: the excitement of being young and on the inside of something cool, feeling that this kind of music is the only thing keeping you alive and that no one understands it as you do."
LOS ANGELES TIMES.
