Donnie Darko (2001)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: DeLuxe/Panavision 113m
Director: Richard Kelly
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, Patrick Swayze

Synopsis:

A teenager with the usual problems of alienation from his family is visited by a man in a rabbit mask and narrowly misses being crushed by a jet engine when it comes crashing through the roof of their house. There is no sign of the plane to which it belonged but it turns out to have been transported via a wormhole from the future, when the stricken craft is to carry his own family. In the meantime his life is changed from a number of standpoints, only to end in tragedy of a different sort.

Review:

Impossible to synopsize and possibly having no point at all, the film, like other time-oriented tales before it, has the power to confound and unsettle in equal measure and quickly became a cult movie among teenies.
