Lakewood Art House Cinema: Donnie Darko

Lakewood Art House Cinema: Donnie Darko

Directed by: Richard Kelly     Rated R

Jake Gyllenhaal is a troubled kid living in a strange world. He doesn’t sleep right. The gaps in his memory lead to sinister clues. And wormholes, a giant talking bunny named Frank and a jet engine falling through the roof of his house are just a few of his concerns. Sometimes he feels like he’s standing in the way of the world. At least he has one last chance to look around and appreciate the neighborhood.

Beyond our borders and outside the mainstream movie world, there are daring, original and often controversial films that we don’t often get to see. You might have missed them before, so the Library is bringing the art house closer to home.
