Release date: October 26, 2001
A troubled teenager is told by a man in a rabbit suit that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.
Richard Kelly's beautiful and befuddling puzzle of a film had "cult classic" written all over it from the start, but Donnie Darko actually deserves the label much more than most of its wannabe peers. A fascinating and hypnotic journey with a uniquely dream-like tone and atmosphere, Darko is a pleasure even if you don't understand everything that's going on - in fact, it loses some of its power the more you "get" its plot involving time travel, parallel universes, dream imagery and ontological paradoxes. Ask anyone about this movie and more often than not they'll tell you how deeply it affected them, both as a moviegoer and a human being. Yeah, it's got some real magic going on, and Jake Gyllenhaal is astonishingly good in the title role.
Richard Kelly (director), Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Holmes Osborne, Mary McDonnell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Daveigh Chase, Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, Patrick Swayze, James Duval.
Donnie's little sister had her own little apocalyptic adventure too, you know.
