Dark DARKER DARKO

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2002)

This film is disturbing, amazing, fantastic. I've just seen it once, but I'm going to have to watch it again and again. It is about a mentally troubled 15 year old, and his life in the 1980's contemporary America. Donnie Darko is his name, and he's made a new friend: Frank - the giant bunny rabbit.
Frank is telling Donnie that the world will end in 28 days.
Richard Kelly has made a modern masterpiece. There can be no doubt about it. Incredibily filmed, well directed. DONNIE DARKO keeps switching between surreal horror and a intense drama. Thanks to the suburb looks and action of Jake Gyllenhaal, you really care about this boy, and what is happening to him.
It's like there is something definitly not right, in this right world of jesus-freaks, surburban comfort and that fat girl from school, noone will ever talk to. Donnie has been seeing stuff, and lately... Frank has been telling him to do things... Dark things.
I find myself without words now. This film is one of the best I've ever seen.
10/10
