Dark. Darkest. Darko.
Before he was a soldier in Iraq, a man-loving cowboy, or an L.A cop at the end of his watch, the ever-so-talented Jake Gyllenhaal gave his breakout performance as the charming and wonderfully messed up Donnie Darko - a disturbed teenager, visited in his dreams by a man-sized rabbit who manipulates his thoughts and behaviours. Set in typical 80s American Suburbia, this eerie piece of cinema will linger in your mind, as it is a well known fact that no two people come away from watching Donnie Darko with the exact same interpretation.
Director Richard Kelly pulled together an amazing cast for this mind-bending indie hit, including stellar performances from the late, great Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, Jena Malone and real-life sister Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Revisit - or discover for the very first time - this unique, bizarre film that really captured our imaginations when it first hit the big screen and immediately gained cult status. We’re screening Donnie Darko, as well as Tim Burton’s classic Edward Scissorhands, in the shadowy depths of Brompton Cemetery. Rabbit outfits - or skeleton onesies - optional, but encouraged…
