Daft Punk’s Electroma - 2006

What not to expect: Dialog or Daft Punk music.

What to expect: Very drawn out scenes, not so subtile Kubrick influences,  other people in the room to say things like “How the fuck can you watch this?”  and a possible quasi understanding of French Art House filmmaking.
