Donnie Darko is a teenager who lives in an American suburb and is plagued by visions of a hare named Frank. Frank predicts the end of the world for him in exactly 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. The nastiest thing about it: Frank's prophecies come true and he increasingly begins to influence Donnie.
Unfortunately, Richard Kelly did not have much success with his first feature film at first. The theatrical release flopped, although the reasons should not be mentioned here, as this would not be possible without spoilers. Things went much better with the DVD release, which helped the film achieve international fame and a veritable cult status. It's not just the great soundtrack that's convincing. DONNIE DARKO addresses mental health, free will, predestination and time travel and creates a dense atmosphere.
