Hansen-Løve includes cheeky, affectionate references to real-life French E.D.M. Not much happens in Eden, and yet everything happens, as our hero Paul ( Félix de Givry) navigates the Paris music scene through E.D.M.’s underground beginnings to its pulsating ascendence. Creativity, ambition, passion, and the meander and rush of time are all depicted beautifully in Eden, a film that’s alternately joyous and wistful, hopeful and resigned. in the 1990s and 2000s, director Mia Hansen-Løve’s sprawling, sublime modern-day epic is really about much bigger, more universal things.
Ostensibly a chronicle of the rises and falls of an aspiring French electronic dance music D.J.
