USA 2001 | 113 Min. | DCP | FSK 16
englische Originalfassung mit Untertiteln
"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. DONNIE DARKO is described by its director as '"The Catcher in the Rye" as told by Philip K. Dick.'" IFC Film Center
"If revisiting an old movie is a bit like going back in time, that sense of disorientation is doubled in DONNIE DARKO. A haunted miasma of youthful alienation, suburban malaise, cosmic upheaval, and 1980s pop-cultural infatuation, writer-director Richard Kelly's captivatingly strange 2001 debut plays more than ever like its own suspended-in-time artifact." Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
"Richard Kelly's feature debut as a writer-director, blending teen angst with elements of sci-fi and horror, did not have a successful run during its initial release, but strong word of mouth kept adventurous filmgoers buying tickets as the number of screens showing the film dwindled. After its home video release generated new interest, pushing it into cult status, the Pioneer Theater in New York City began midnight screenings. Those continued for 28 months straight, only stopping at the distributor's request when planning for a re-release. That success at the Pioneer continued to fuel the film's following and solidified it as the new midnight movie of its era." Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
"A sci-fi thriller with a philosophical bent and an ending that people are *still* talking about digesting (and diagramming)." Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
"Kelly's film is a conundrum wrapped in an enigma inside a valentine... It's the cult film as supercollider physics experiment: What would happen if, for example, particles of the Buffyverse would be 'smushed' up with the gravitational tangents of Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia"? DARKO's "Mad World" montage is a partial answer." Howard Hampton, Artforum (2017)
