Donnie Darko

Experience the Director's Cut of this modern classic. One night, Donnie Darko sleepwalks out of the house and sees the giant rabbit Frank, who tells him that the world will end in 28 days, six hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. When Donnie returns to the house, a jet engine has coincidentally crashed into his room. We are in 1988, and Donnie is in his final year of high school. He is a somewhat disturbed teenager suffering from all sorts of delusions and hallucinations, while also possessing a deeper intelligence and perception that at times frightens his friends. He attends therapy and takes medication, but nothing seems to work. Donnie gets worse, but is it because he is sinking deeper into the mental quagmire, or is it because he actually sees and experiences these things? Frank keeps appearing in his head, and both Donnie and the audience face the challenge of piecing it all together. Donnie Darko was Richard Kelly's debut film and contains elements of teen comedy, crazy satire, horror and science fiction. All of this becomes a strange and captivating cinematic experience that quickly earned classic status and continues to surprise.
