Eden

Paul is a teenager drawn into the underground clubs of early 1990s Paris. He forms a DJ collective with a tight circle of friends and they chase nights overflowing with music, risk taking, and the electric pull of the city. The film follows their ascent through dingy basements, makeshift decks, and packed venues, where friendships deepen and boundaries blur between art and party. It captures how a shared obsession with rhythm can shape a person, turning reckless experiments into a fragile maturity. There are no easy answers or neat endings, only the stubborn persistence of sound and memory.

Directed by Mia Hansen-Løve, Eden draws from an original screenplay by Hansen-Løve and Sven Hansen-Løve. The film reconstructs the early 90s Paris club scene with a tactile sense of place and time.

Critics praised the film for its patient, intimate approach and its quiet meditation on youth, ambition, and the costs of artistic pursuit. It emphasizes friendship and self discovery as music shapes the road forward.

Eden offers a precise portrait of a moment in European electronic culture and has resonated with fans who remember the era. Its restrained mood and authentic soundtrack make it a reference point for movies about dance music.
