In a bittersweet moment for Daft Punk fans, the documentary Daft Punk Unchained is now available for streaming via the French NME site…. but without English subtitles.
Directed by Hervé Martin Delpierre and co-written by Delpierre and Marina Rozenman, the documentary explores the cultural phenomenon of the musical duo, who we last heard from in 2013 with the album Random Access Memories. The press release for the film states: “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.”
It also features appearances from the likes of Kanye West, Pharrell, Nile Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder, Michel Gondry, Paul Williams, Todd Edwards, Pete Tong and more.
From what we can see it looks pretty awesome; it’s just a shame we can’t understand what anyone is saying. As they say, C’est la vie, and fingers crossed for an English release shortly.
