Cannes. Daft Punk's Electroma.

"If auds thought Gus Van Sant's Gerry and Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny were slow and pretentious, they should get a load of Daft Punk's Electroma," groans Variety's Leslie Felperin.

Andrew Pulver in the Guardian on the Directors' Fortnight entry: "[T]he Punks have an eye for an arresting image: their simple tale of two robots who make themselves human faces out of wax is beautifully filmed, and occasionally very funny. But they have not quite worked out the importance of having a narrative: an incredibly dull mid-section in which our two electric pals stumble metronomically through the desert had the audience fleeing in droves."
