Donnie Darko

About this event

Wake up, Donnie… Donnie Darko, one of the definitive Frida Cinema fan favorites, is coming back for a very special one night only screening on August 22nd at 11:00PM! Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a troubled teenager in 1988 Virginia, plagued by visions and sleepwalking episodes. One night, a bizarre accident nearly kills him when a jet engine crashes into his bedroom. Surviving only because he wandered outside, Donnie begins seeing a terrifying figure: a man in a grotesque rabbit suit named Frank, who tells him the world will end in 28 days. Before Stranger Things combined science fiction, Spielberg-ian thrills, and 1980s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the high-water mark with Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium.
