So, um, what? Heh, okay. Apparently, it's about a world where everyone has Daft Punk robot heads.

That Daft Punk's debut as auteurs contains none of the French duo's music is but one of the perverse things about the project. There are still fine tunes to be heard — the soundtrack includes songs by Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno, Sebastien Tellier and Curtis Mayfield — but long passages of the film take place in silence. Despite some startling imagery (especially in the final moments), this conceptually thin tale of two robots who long to be human is stretched to the point of crushing tedium. The influence of '70s touchstones like Zabriskie Point, THX 1138 and Vanishing Point is easy to see, but no one asked Daft Punk to make The Brown Robo-Bunny.

looks very weird, but in a good way.

yea...

didn't even know about them making the film before now (there's not like some sort of daft punk equivalent of dirty, is there?)

but the movie looks really interesting - and I was a fan of THX1139, and if this is similar - it could be cool.

when does the film come out?

The car scene reminds me of The White Room by KLF.

The dvd comes out in September. (already out in Australia)

I wish The White Room movie was on dvd. The youtube clips don't do it justice.

it's playing here july 26, a couple days before the Daft Punk show. can't wait. more excited for the movie than the concert to be honest.

seriously? where

Seriously. I'd love if somebody could put into words the awesomeness of Daft Punk. Specially considering how dissapointing is approximately 66% (not counting Alive 97 here) of their work. Because I love them, and I feel it can't be another way when you've seen them a couple times live and you like electronic music. Where does their charm reside in? Is there any kind of clinical approach to my question? I'd love to know what to say to people when they ask me about the band and reach them, give them a fulfilling answer.

awesomeness is simple, repetitive, happy songs
huge stage show with the lights and pyramid
space helmets

don't look for too much in daft punk. it's just simple, retarded party music.
