Narrative
Four talented alien musicians are kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans and reprograms them to forget their true identities and play helpless corporate pop as The Crescendolls. At one point, a soccer match is shown on the screen; the Japanese and French teams are playing. The two collaborators, Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto, are French and Japanese respectively. The score, 2 for France and 1 for Japan, indicates how many were from each country.
Edited from Daft Punk: Aerodynamic (2001)

I’m a huge Daft Punk fan.
A huge one, in fact
I play the Discovery album constantly, all day long, pretty regularly. So when my friend first told me about this movie, I was ecstatic. I borrowed it right away, and the magic began. It tells a fairly simple and predictable story.
But when you watch it, you don’t care
The music and art are expressive and engaging. They alone carry the movie, because there’s no dialogue anywhere. You’ll never miss a dialogue, I can promise you. Instead, you’ll be dancing, then on the edge of your seat.
Tip: watch the ‘extras’
You’ll laugh, you might cry. But you’ll be left stunned. Many of the funny scenes are just random bystanders doing stupid things. Although it may seem like nothing more than a long music video, it is actually an epic musical journey.
