Discovery is a masterpiece, but I feel like this kind of misunderstands the appeal of Daft Punk and their music which was that the world was futuristic and cool but you were still just a normal guy doing boring things, so it would have been cool if space fanboy got more focus.


I also feel like the movie comes more from a love for the individual songs and an overriding commitment to perfectly emulating whatever aesthetic the album was going for, which makes for a really unfocused and weird film. It’s not bad, though! HBFS and Something About Us were highlights, though they tried to make Veridis Quo into Castlevania for some reason. I think the gothic stuff was where they lost me.
