Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto: Interstella 5555

Celebrating the 20th anniversary and 4k remastering of this anime-style science fiction musical film directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, with creative input from the iconic electronic duo Daft Punk and created in collaboration with Leiji Matsumoto, a legendary anime artist and creator.

The film is a fusion of anime and electronic music, providing a visual realisation of Daft Punk’s iconic Discovery album. There is no spoken dialogue in the film – instead, the entire story is told through the music of Discovery and the animated visuals – with every track from Discovery serving as the soundtrack.

Discovery, Daft Punk’s second studio album, was released in 2001 and is one of their most acclaimed and iconic albums, including hits such as One More Time and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. It was pivotal in shaping Daft Punk’s legacy as pioneers in the electronic music scene.
