Robots Wander

Electroma
Daft Punk
Aztec DVD, 2007
3.5 stars 4 stars

Robot 1: "Why did the two robots cross the desert?"
Robot 2: "I don't know - why did the two robots cross the desert?"
Robot 1: "To get to the other side."
Robot 2: "I don't get it."
Either did I. Electroma is a very pretty film with a great soundtrack (though no music by Daft Punk themselves). Following a kind of 'journey of self-discovery' for two robots, the story leaves you guessing (as does the G rating), but this is irrelevant - buy this DVD and play it in the background of your next house party, it won't disappoint.
