Donnie Darko: Theatrical Cut

Hop down to The Loft Cinema and spend an Apocalyptic Easter with Frank the Rabbit at a special holiday screening of Richard Kelly’s 2001 cult classic Donnie Darko, in a 4K restoration!  

Richard Kelly’s strangely hypnotic and un-categorizable cult classic obliterates the lines between teen comedy, science fiction, family drama, horror and cultural satire – and remains wildly entertaining throughout. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Donnie, a borderline-schizophrenic teenager for who there is no difference between the signs and wonders of reality and hallucination. Obsessed with the science of time travel and acutely aware of the world around him, Donnie is isolated by his unnerving powers of analysis and the apocalyptic visions that no one else seems to share. Co-starring Jena Malone, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore and Patrick Swayze, and featuring an evocative soundtrack of ‘80s pop classics, Donnie Darko, presented here in its original theatrical cut, is a truly original work that does what few films can – create a wholly unique movie universe that can be re-visited time and time again.
