Donnie Darko Description
Writer-director Richard Kelly's bold debut
film is a social satire, a dark comedy, a science fiction
time-traveling fantasy, and a suburban nightmare about an
extremely intelligent, depressive, self-destructive, narcoleptic,
gun-toting, sex-crazed, teenaged arsonist: Donnie Darko (Jake
Gyllenhaal). DONNIE DARKO is not your typical teen comedy. But,
like GHOST WORLD and RUSHMORE, it uses the trappings of the teen
comedy as the entry point for a subversive and trenchant (and also
wonderfully entertaining) look at American life. The difference
between those films and DONNIE DARKO is that Donnie is an unlikely
hero who just might save the world.
It's October 1988, in the Virginia suburb of Middlesex. When
Frank, a grotesque giant bunny (possibly imaginary), leads Donnie
out of his house minutes before a plane smashes through his roof,
he not only saves Donnie's life but also warns Donnie that the
world is about to end. Over the next few weeks, Donnie falls in
love with Gretchen (Jena Malone) and tries to figure out what his
life means. Kelly's film perfectly captures the unease that is
quietly scratching under the surface of suburban late 1980s life.
Gyllenhaal leads an exceptional cast, bringing Kelly's twisted but
humane vision to life. An exceptional performance is given by Mary
McDonnell (PASSION FISH) as Donnie's mother.
"...A remarkably accomplished piece of
filmmaking by a 26-year-old Richard Kelly..."
"...Excitingly original..."
"...Richard Kelly, the first-time
writer-director, is obviously talented....He sees his characters
freshly and clearly, and never reduces them to formulas. In Jake
Gyllenhaal, he finds an actor able to suggest an intriguing kind
of disturbance..."
"...A fine film, even an astounding
one....DONNIE DARKO has a texture and tang all its own....Haunting
and altogether exquisite..."
"...This is startling filmmaking -- end of
story..."
"...This home life/high school satire set
in someone's twilight zone grabs you and doesn't let go. It's also
one of the best cast films of the last decade..." |
