The trailer for Mia Hansen-Løve’s Eden has just been released and you can check it out in the player below!
Eden offers an affecting trip into the electronic dance movement in Paris whose rhythms echo its textures and feeling. Based on the experiences of Hansen-Løve’s brother (and co-writer) Sven, the film follows Paul (Félix de Givry), a teenager in the underground scene of early-nineties Paris. Rave parties dominate that culture, but he’s drawn to the more soulful rhythms of Chicago’s garage house. He forms a DJ collective named Cheers (as, in a parallel storyline, two of his friends form one called Daft Punk, who float throughout the movie), and together he and his friends plunge into the ephemeral nightlife of sex, drugs, and endless music. Shot by Denis Lenoir, Hansen-Løve’s film is a shimmering swirl of color, light and baselines – an intoxicating cocktail of euphoria and melancholy as alive as any nightclub.
Eden also stars Brady Corbet, Greta Gerwig, Pauline Etienne, Vincent Macaigne, Hugo Conzelmann, Roman Kolinka, Hugo Bienvenu, Vincent Lacoste and Arnaud Azoulay. Look for it to hit the big screen in New York and Los Angeles beginning June 19.
