Pitchfork

Easily the best "odyssey of two robots who journey across a mythic American landscape of haunting, surreal beauty on a quest to become human" to grace silver screens and television monitors since The Brown Bunny, Electroma finds your favorite Daft Punk cyborgs (played by two dudes who are, it bears mentioning, not Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) in some pretty unfamiliar territory. Namely: daylight, America, and utter silence(!).



Well, if your curiosity is piqued, you'll be thrilled to know that Pitchfork's own Pitchfork.tv has convinced the robot powers that be to let us screen Electroma for one night and one night only this very weekend. It's just like our usual "One Week Only" feature, except, you know, for a night. The "odyssey" begins tomorrow (Friday) at 8 p.m. EST and concludes precisely 24 hours later, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, which should provide ample time for approximately 19 successive viewings of the 74-minute film.



If you still haven't had your fill by then-- or if you can't make it to a computer this weekend-- Electroma is available now on DVD and Blu-ray from Vice. UPDATE: Not available on Blu-ray.
