I went to see Eden mainly as a time slot filler but I honestly expected more out of it. Loosely based on the experiences of the director's brother as a DJ (who also co-wrote it) and spanning 20 years this could have been interesting and personal. Unfortunately it's over two hour run time is mainly due to the time frame of the story and not because it has any depth (I was a little scared when the "part two" card appeared). It's hard to care for a guy who can't give up on his garage music and coke for 20 years, burning through his little money he has and stacking up debts. There is also no apparent consistency in his relationships... his "true love" goes back to the USA, his then immediate next in line becomes a thing once again when she already has two kids all while he has another GF anyways with whom he seems to be happy and another one exploits him financially for three years (while he fails to get in her pants)? The actor playing the main character also wasn't very good and his crying and DJing scenes cringe worthy. Really... nothing is fleshed out or has a point. At least the characters should have been written properly if you don't have any plot. Since I'm ranting I might also mention the "Daft Punk" thing. They started out the same time as the brother whom this is based on and they shared the same circles but the early focus on them was really unneeded. Seems like a way to boost it's main stream appeal I guess. Too bad they queue their (imho) horrible music over the protagonist's "important" concert he had in NYC.
