Daft Punk, the French electronic music duo, recently produced a movie called Electroma. With no dialog, extended outdoor scenes and more than a little existentialism, the journey of two robots who desire to become human provides for some touching emotional moments, highlighted by the music that Daft Punk has chosen. Not for everyone, but enjoyable for those who are willing to try something different.
