Preview of Daft Punk Unchained Documentary
Watch a preview of Daft Punk documentary, the film has finally been released for viewing in the United States.
A definitive highlight in the Daft Punk Unchained doccie for the French duo is their 2006 performance at Coachella to something like forty thousand people. Everyone was enthralled and it was that performance that set them on to an even greater road of success, helping them obtain crossover appeal and break into the mainstream sector.
“No one had seen anything like that. No one had seen that level of production. Everybody who was in the tent was texting everybody else: ‘You are missing this! This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen! You’re missing the greatest performance of all time.’” Said music journalist Michelangelo Matos
The director of Daft Punk Unchained, Hervé Martin Delpierre does his best to strip away at who the people are behind the masks. The film follows the career of the duo from the start to their milestone night at the Grammys in 2014.
The director had his first experience with Daft Punk in Paris during 1996. He notes that tongues were wagging about the ‘fashionable’ electronic music band back then.
He said… “[They were] a group that had decided that the guitars were no longer the indispensable instrument to make music and to be cool. And on stage, when I saw them one night, I saw two very regular boys. Nothing in their faces, their hair, their clothes seemed to want to say, ‘I need to create a look for myself every morning, with more than one hour in front of the mirror to prove to the world how cool I am’. I realized later, when I thought of that night, that everything in Daft Punk was about freedom. To be free, musically, artistically, you must already be free in your head and your body. And those two boys were already visibly free in their mind and spirit.”
