UPDATE (11/27/15): Daft Punk's documentary Daft Punk Unchained will premiere in the United States on Showtime Dec. 10 at 9 pm EST.
Though one half of Daft Punkrecently ditched the helmet in the movie Reality alongside Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder, a proper history and behind-the-helmets look at the future's favorite duo — one respectful of both fact and fiction (a necessary element in the world of Daft Punk) — has largely eluded fans for decades. However, Daft Punk Unchained more than fills that void.
From the original press release:
The documentary recently aired on the French network Canal+ and is now available to stream (see above). The only potential nuisance, of course, is that the film is currently in French and possesses no subtitles. However, for diehards and enviable French tongues, this won't prove much of an issue.
Cheat sheet: At approximately the 48:50 mark, you'll find a new Kanye West interview filmed backstage at his recent Foundation Louis Vuittonconcert series. Paired with the interview is a blistering performance of the Daft Punk-aided Yeezus cut "On Sight."
