The boys behind Daft Punk move into experimental art house cinema with this their directorial debut about two robots (oh yes) on a quest to become human. An intriguing, though perhaps not entirely successful, labour of love that, though with a frustratingly small amount of their own fine music, boasts an excellent soundtrack from Mayfield, Eno, Haydn and Chopin. A cinematographically beautiful midnight movie. find out more...

The leader of a small band of thugs under the control of a dark lord has an epiphany and rejects his violent ways. Our hero's choice however comes at great personal cost and leads him on a lonely, momentous and almost mythological quest for atonement.
