'Daft Punk's Electroma' is a revelation. In what could so easily have been self-indulgent art house nonsense, we have a stunning visual feast that shows that Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter are far more than just great musicians.
The film has a simple narrative theme involving two robots who long to become human but it is basically a road movie on to which a series of hypnotisingly beautiful images are hung. The visuals have you hooked in right from the first shot. Thematically, I guess that it ties in loosely with the last studio album, HUMAN AFTER ALL.
I wouldn't call the film original or ground-breaking. It is just strange and charming that something so simple becomes so compelling. Really this is, I think, down to the breadth of Bangalter and Homem-Christo's artistic vision and imagination (which runs equally through all of their work) and their sheer craftsman-like perfectionism and that of the people they choose to work with - in this case, the film crew. The Daft Punk live show is similar - it shouldn't work but it is a revelation.
I expected to be disappointed that the soundtrack was not Daft Punk's own music but here I was wrong again. The music that has been chosen works perfectly.
This will be cult viewing for decades to come.

I doubt that today's dj pricks like Tiesto or Zabiella, Van Dyke etc... would ever dare to put their own money in such experimental movies. Well done Masonic Punk! The only thing is missing here a truly good plot, so it is obvious the loooong shots here. But I salute the effords like this.

Arresting, inventive visual storytelling, if a bit overlong
A bit pretentious, a bit obvious, overlong, even at 74 minutes (this would have

Daft Punk's Electroma. I expected to hear great music, with so, so images. As it turns out, the imagery was far more interesting than the audio, which is somewhat lacking, which is... Read more

Not what I expected
I'm a huge fan of Daft Punk's music and have always loved their unique music videos, so when I watched this film I was disappointed. I have to admit their concept was good. Read more

Electromaglide in Blue
Someone said it's a "bling version of the KLF's WHite Room"...and? This film delivers. It's everything that the critics say it is i.e."boring" and "derivative". Read more

A film that needs patience, but deserves it

Excellent Electroma
A universe away from the glam kitsch of Daft Punk's INTERSTELLA 5555 (of which I am also an admirer) ELECTROMA is another work which defies easy categorisation, which one will love... Read more
