Richard Kelly's film prodigy that revealed actor Jake Gyllenhaal
Middlesex, Iowa, 1988. Donnie Darko is a sixteen-year-old teenager like no other. Introverted and emotionally disturbed, he maintains a friendship with a certain Frank, a giant rabbit that only he can see and hear. One night when Donnie is awakened by the voice of his imaginary friend who tells him to follow him, he miraculously survives an accident that could have been fatal to him. At the same time, Frank announces to him that the end of the world is near. From then on, Donnie will obey the voice and cause a series of events that will sow trouble within the community...
The first feature film by American Richard Kelly, made at just twenty-six, Donnie Darko is a film prodigy. A mixture of melancholy teen-movie and fantastic thriller, its creator takes us on a chaotic journey to the heart of the psyche of a teenager, embodied with confusion by Jake Gyllenhaal. The spearhead of American independent cinema of the 2000s, available in its 2 versions!
