Daft Punk Unchained

Daft Punk Unchained (2015) is a documentary about the helmeted French duo, ready to watch online on iFILM. It was the first feature to seriously dig into the act that rewired dance music.

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo rarely talk and never show their faces, so director Hervé Martin-Delpierre builds the story from the people around them — Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, Michel Gondry. It traces twenty years, from mid-90s garage house to Random Access Memories and seven Grammy wins.

The film nails the central paradox: total anonymity as the tool that let two artists keep full control of their sound and their lives. Essential viewing if you grew up on "One More Time" and "Get Lucky." Stream Daft Punk Unchained (2015) online on iFILM.
