The directorial debut of electronic music duo Daft Punk (Bangalter and De Homem-Christo), Electroma is the cinematographically stunning chronicle of two robots on a quest to become human. Austere yet saturated in Americana, the film manages to brilliantly complement Daft Punk’s style even while containing no music by the successful group.
