DéJà View: DONNIE DARKO

Watch Trailer Director: Richard Kelly
Writer(s): Richard Kelly
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Mary McDonnell, Maggie Gyllenhaal

This fall, the Athena presents Déjà View: Cult Classics Film Series. Shock value may have put these films on the map but their lasting relevance is a testament to a deeper resonance. There is more to these films than sex, violence and potty humor. These films are about, by and for the outsiders. Each in its own way, these films celebrate the freak and delight in the different. And they do so with pride, triumph and joy, and a fair amount of filth and fun.

The fourth film in the series is Donnie Darko. After surviving a freak accident, a teenage boy in suburbia has visions of a large bunny rabbit named Frank that tells him the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds.

“The movie defies easy packaging, mixing romantic teen comedy with biting satire in a 1980s period piece, into which it then injects significant doses of science-fiction fantasy and horror.”- Jenafer Gillingham, L.A. Weekly
