The first ever documentary film on the most secretive duo in the world.
The epic story of two uncompromising artists. With the participation of
their closest collaborators and friends from Pharrell Williams to Nile
Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder, Kanye West, Michel Gondry, Paul Williams,
Peter Lindbergh, Leiji Matsumoto and Pete Tong.
Daft Punk Unchained, directed by Hervé Martin Delpierre, is the first
independent film which explores an exceptional pop culture phenomenon of
the last twenty years: Daft Punk. Between fiction and reality, magic
and secrets, theatricality and humility, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel
de Homem-Christo have created a unique artistic universe. Throughout
their career they have remained determined to control every link in the
chain of their creative work. The film highlights key moments of their
story, from their first school band in Paris to their historic concert
at Coachella festival in 2006 and their spectacular triumph at the 2014
Grammy Awards for the album « Random Access Memories ». In an era of
globalisation and the expansion of social media, they have refused to
show their own faces and they orchestrate every detail of their
appearances as robots. The documentary includes archives of radio
interviews with Daft Punk, rare footage and exclusive interviews with
their friends and close collaborators from Pharrell Williams to Nile
Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder, Kanye West, Michel Gondry, Paul Williams,
Peter Lindbergh, Leiji Matsumoto and Pete Tong.
