EDEN Trailer: A Sprawling, Musical Look Back At The 90s
Mia Hansen-Løve's Eden is "a sprawling and epic look back" at that particular scene, according to our own Dustin Chang. "But more so," he continued, "the film is about life." Here's a little more from his review after seeing it at the New York Film Festival:
Eden charts about 20 years in the life of Paul (Félix de Givry), starting in 1992. He is a big raver and into music. He and his friend Stan (Hugo Conzelman) form a garage (Paul affectingly explains - house music with more soul and disco) DJ duo called Cheers, despite his mom (Atom Egoyan regular Arsinée Khanjian)'s disapproval....What's amazing about Eden, just like Hansen-Løve's last film, Goodbye First Love, is her ability to make you aware of the poignancy of the passing of time in an extraordinarily personal way. Obviously the film is not for everyone. The specificity of the film's setting and subject matter might hinder your interest in seeing it. But for me and many others like me, who lived through the 90s, that culturally bleh decade, as a young adult full of hopes and dreams, Eden will linger in your head and gain in poignancy over the years to come.
A new trailer communicates those feelings well. The film opens in select theaters in New York and Los Angeles on June 19, with a further roll-out in the weeks to come.
