Mrs d' indica won tickets for a screening of 'Eden' last night. French film about the Paris house music scene in the 90's and 2000's. Now I like the French and their movies, love Paris, love house music, like art-house flicks and it was playing in my favourite indie cinema.
This should be shooting at an open goal for me. The reviews have been gushing.
It's dreadful. Honestly, you'd have to work hard for me to hate a film with those ingredients but they've managed to pull it off, well done to them.
Empty characters, particularly the main guy who is incredibly dull, zero development of those characters, music is completely anachronistic for the most part just trying to shoe horn classic tracks in, humour is flat. The club scenes are joyless and sanitised. Opportunities to add or explore interesting elements are skipped over and the attempts to add tension or plot are jarring as they just curveball from out of nowhere.
We were both glad we didn't pay for it. Awful film.
