A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

No spoilers!!! I know that not everyone will like this movie... But it's masterpiece. It is something like an artistic film. There is no action. No dialogues - some may find it boring. Also, it is very, very sad. Too sad for some of You (I was crying in the end).But it is the best movie I've ever seen. No, it is not a movie - it's an artwork. I felt like watching surrealistic paintings. And, best of all - it made me wonder about it for quite long time.Music is quite good and it matches the movie.It can be hard to get, but it's really worth trying. My rating: 10 out of 10 - perfect.P.S. I'm sorry for a mistakes (if there are any), I'm not English.

I was not sure what to expect from this film, a top music duo produce a film which looked rather egotistic yet i found once the 'experience' had begun i was transfixed and couldn't take my eyes from the screen.The film shows a definitive post-modern aspect. Is it really a representation of how we all are indeed equal under the facade we present to the world all struggling to be unique and different, it's all been done before and nothing anyone does makes them different.All in all the film was a new one on me. A silent film with beautiful scenes and themes. A definite recommendation but not preferably one i would put on to entertain guests!

The movie might clearly be connected to more trivial, yet also more inspirational and loved, movies like D.A.R.Y.L. from 1985. It is very likely that, in their childhood, the authors experienced watching this semi-unknown home video featuring a robot kid becoming a kid and facing the issues the Government is giving it (or him) in its attempt to dismantle the device. Go check out the movie, or watch it if you please, and post a comment. Works from Daft Punk are overwhelming with quotations and atmospheres of that techno-romantic and dreamlike spirit that features every little memory of movies and music, toys and magazines from the 80s that everyone who made it to 1989 being no older than 15 and no younger than 2 feels whenever he/she thinks back about the scenarios of his/her childhood.

It begins like a 70's Road Movie filmed by Antonioni and it ends like Gus Van Saint's "Gerry" with robots instead of humans. "Electroma" is an experimental trip that supposedly completes Daft Punk's last album : "Human after all" like "Interstella 5555" completed "Discovery" (but the two projects, beside their experimental faces, are here merely link one with another, whereas the last movie had strong connections with the album and the video clips). Here's a few things to know before watching this movie if you don't want to be too surprise or disappointed : it has absolutely no dialogs in it, the story is linear and simple and allows long experimental and contemplative sequences and the soundtrack isn't made by Daft Punk (even if it's omnipresent and very good : Brian Eno, Sebastien Tellier, Gregory Allegri...).The movie is clearly divided in three parts, each lasts approximately 20 minutes long, except the desert part, which may be a little bit longer (but that may be a subjective impression...)SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE MOVIE. The first part is a road movie, with a video clip's editing style, where you see the two Daft Punk Robots traveling across the California desert. The references of the musicians are clearly shown here : the movie effectually looks like a crossover between "2001, a space Odyssey" and "Easy Rider", with robots in a big black car. The scene is rather pleasant, very aesthetically, and seems like a long and beautiful video clip d'auteur or like a 70's art video.The second part is a mix between "THX 1138" and a grotesque horror movie, with the Daft Punk arriving in a typically American city full of robots, where they experience a operation, that transforms them to human, after all. They come out of the laboratory with caricature faces, and walk through the city, where the other robots stare at them with their surprised artificial eyes. But their carnival figures melt like ice-cream in the sun, and they have to get ride of them rather rapidly, and to become the Daft Punk again. The last part fallows the two robots in the desert, where they walk and walk, and walk again (they're robots, they're never tired or hungry, they can walk endlessly...). There's then this secession of desert's frames, finishing with Courbet's "L'Origine du monde", that is rather ridiculous, but wakes the spectator up (I have to say that the movie is released in one Theatre in Paris, and has a unique weekly projection the Saturday at midnight !). SPOILER AHEAD (even if it's merely a narrative movie).Then, the two robots get tired of walking and even of living a robot's life : one explodes in a "Zabriskie Point"'s style, the other becomes the Human Torch (or the Robot Torch). END OF TELLING THE END OF THE MOVIE.The all thing is a pleasant but rather unoriginal (too many references) experimental movie, that links video clip with artistically experience and cinema.
