Donnie Darko
Richard Kelly, USA, 2001, Arrow Films, Cult
Before Stranger Things combined science fiction, Spielberg-ian thrills, and 1980s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the high-water mark with Donnie Darko. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium. Described by its director as "The Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. Dick," Donnie Darko stars Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, and Noah Wyle. Now available from Arrow Films as a newly restored DCP in 4k.

“A haunted miasma of youthful alienation, suburban malaise, cosmic upheaval, and 1980s pop-cultural infatuation.” - Justin Chang, Film Critic, Los Angeles Times
