I thank you very much Richard Kelly

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2002)

I don't feel like commenting much on Donnie Darko right now. I just wish to say that I don't have ever seen a film like this before, a film I felt very much at home the whole time, a film I cared about this much. I love this film. And I feel kind of angry that a film of this unique quality did not get a theatrical release in Germany, where I am from, or many other places, where it did not receive the kind of treatment it deserved. From all the the young "up and coming" directors Richard Kelly is the one I hope the best for, and the fact that the imdb has not listed anything Richard Kelly might have "in the making" I interpret as a good sign for lots of future surprise cinematic masterpieces we're about to witness. I just hope for them. And Donnie Darko surely is the best reason to hope for them.
