Interstella 5555

 

Director: Kazuhisa Takenouchi

Language: All musical

Tickets: Glasgow on October 7th at 2300

Synopsis: Interstella 5555 is a fun fusion of electronic music, science fiction, romance, and music industry culture. Released in 2003 as the visual reflection of Daft Punk’s Discovery album and warmly received by international critics, it brings something very different to Scotland Loves Anime 2011. The music is the only audio, leaving the visuals to tell the story of the blue-skinned intergalactic pop band as they are kidnapped and subsequently rescued.

You should see this if… electronic music makes your skin tingle. Daft Punk worked closely with Takenouchi to make Interstella 5555 into their ideal marriage of sound and vision, so get yourself a drink at the bar and settle down for an eccentric audiovisual voyage.
