Art

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2004)

Art is what best describes this film. It reminds you why you love movies. I've seen this movie 5 or 6 times, and it never fails in capturing me completely. Kinda like The Breakfast Club did it, this movie "dares to inspire". Richard Kelly has excellent visual control, I especially loved the high school entrance scene. Great acting by Jake Gyllenhaal as Donnie and a beautifully picked soundtrack, sets you back to the eighties. Philosophical and indeed dark. Donnie Darko is a great mix of music, theories on time travel, the strains and wonders of puberty and eerie dark fatalism. Thank You!
