Daft Punk Unchained is the
first film about the pop culture phenomenon that is Daft Punk, the duo
with 12 million albums sold worldwide and seven Grammy Awards. Throughout
their career Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo have
always resisted compromise and the established codes of show business.
They have remained determined to maintain control of every link in the
chain of their creative process. In the era of globalisation and social
networks, they rarely speak in public and neither do they show their faces
on TV.
This documentary explores
this unprecedented cultural revolution revealing a duo of artists on a
permanent quest for creativity, independence and freedom. Between fiction
and reality, magic and secret, future and reinvention,
theatricality and humility, The Robots have built a unique world. The
film combines rare archive footage as well as exclusive
interviews with their closest collaborators who talk about their work
with Daft Punk including Pharrell Williams, Giorgio Moroder,
Nile Rodgers and Michel Gondry.
