SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

robotbling (www.plasticpals.com) Electroma is the story of two robots (Daft Punk) who break from the norm to express their inner individuality in a world populated by robots, with disastrous consequences. This is an experimental film with no dialog whatsoever, running a generous 74 minutes, and some people may feel it drags on a bit in parts. Even fans of Daft Punk may be left scratching their heads since it doesn't feature their music but, supposedly, it syncs up with their album Human After All ala Pink Floyd/Wizard of Oz. If you are not into experimental film you will probably much prefer their animated excursion, Interstella 5555, which I highly recommend.I haven't tried synchronizing it to their album but I enjoyed it just fine, though it should be said I'm a fan of unusual movies. The photography is very professional considering they are amateur film makers, and there's enough here to keep your interest, all without the need for words. I hope they'll continue exploring their visual creativity through cinema in the future, and if it sounds like something you might enjoy, check it out.

rob-tyler-631-892963 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!

niccolomariamoronato 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.

Canadarm I saw Daft Punk's Electroma late last night at the Stockholm Filmfestival. This was right after seeing Gondry's "The Science of Sleep" which was brilliant! This evening turned out to be a great french evening.. Even though I have always been a big fan of Daft Punk's music, especially their live performances, I didn't really think that I would enjoy Electroma that much, but I was wrong! I was really touched by this story of two Robots (the members in daft punk) trying to become human. The theme is similar to that of their latest album "Human After All". It reminded me of Kubrick/Spielberg's "A.I", but Electroma is much more symbolical and humans play a less important role. The movie depicts the robots desire to be unique and human, and just like "Stalker" and other Tarkovsky movies the scenes are very long and for the most part there is no music just background noise, this made me really get into the movie. The whole movie is fantastic but the high rating is mostly due to the ending which is crazy good! I don't know if Daft Punk's robot-era is over after this movie, but I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff from them.This is probably a movie that many people might find boring because it is a very silent and slow movie (heard a guy in front of me snoring..) but give it a chance... The french are not as stupid as the look! oh and the music is not daft punk, but I heard some Brian Eno and Curtis Mayfield, overall the music choices were excellent! Merci;)
