Daft Punk it

The IFI in Dublin is showing Electroma, the visually ravishing science-fiction fable from Daft Punk duo Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, on August 10th and 11th.

The film is without dialogue and doesn’t feature any of Daft Punk's music. Instead, it boasts some stunningly beautiful imagery and an evocative soundtrack featuring numbers from Brian Eno ("In Dark Trees"), Curtis Mayfield ("Billy Jack"), Sebastian Tellier ("Universe") as well as pieces by Chopin and Haydn. The cinematic references range from George Lucas' THX 1138 to Gus Van Sant's Gerry.
