Drama In the 90’s, French electronic music is developing at a fast pace. In the exciting Paris nightlife, Paul is taking his first steps as a DJ. With his best friend he creates a duo called Cheers, and they rapidly find their audience. Eden retraces the steps of the “French Touch” generation from 1992 to today, a generation that still enjoys outstanding international success thanks to DJs like Daft Punk, Dimitri from Paris and Cassius.

	Author	Review
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Mia Hansen-Løve's electronic dance music saga is her most ambitious and affecting work yet. (...) What the film does capture with great generosity and searching intelligence, is the eternal struggle to build a life doing what you love"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide The Times	"Rambling, talky and luxuriantly wistful, the film gives a perceptive survey of the self-importance and decadence of a youth movement. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"'Eden' would make for a wonderfully eye-opening anchor on a double bill with the Coen brothers’ 'Inside Llewyn Davis.' Admittedly a bit overlong, and simultaneously deepened and distanced by its director’s characteristic emotional reserve"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Absorbing and very moving. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Perceptive and compassionate, 'Eden' recognizes how the thrill of artistic freedom can curdle in the heat of the marketplace and the demands of daily life."	POS
