Paris - The mystery surrounding Daft Punk, the star French musical duo who usually keep their identities hidden under full-face robot helmets, will be lifted a little more in a new TV documentary to premiere next week.
"Daft Punk Unchained", made by BBC Worldwide France and to be shown on France's Canal+ network next Tuesday, uses rare archive footage and interviews with friends, producers, journalists, DJs and high-profile fellow artists such as Pharrell Williams and Kanye West to trace the rise of the pair who made 2013's phenomenal global hit "Get Lucky".
The two members of Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo, who first showed their faces publicly in 2014 when they picked up five Grammies for their fourth studio album, "Random Access Memories", gave unprecedented approval for the 85-minute documentary.
Normally reticent to talk to media, their voices are heard in excerpts lifted from some rare past interviews. In keeping with the enigmatic aura they have cultivated, they largely leave the way they are portrayed to others.
