2001 | DCP | USA | D: Richard Kelly

After narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal), is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.

Shot in Long Beach, California, Donnie Darko successfully blends teen drama, science fiction and existential dread. It invites multiple interpretations while grounding its strangeness in adolescent alienation. It later achieved cult status reflecting the film’s refusal to resolve its mysteries neatly.

Donnie Darko is written and directed by Richard Kelly and produced by Drew Barrymore's Flower Films, with Barrymore also appearing in the film. Donnie Darko premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001.

‘A movie that lives on because it invites obsession rather than answers.’ - Mark Kermode, The Guardian
