Repost: Donnie Darko (screens February 8th and 9th at The Nightlight Cinema in Akron)
[DONNIE DARKO: 15th ANNIVERSARY screens February 8th and 9th at The Nightlight Cinema in Akron.]
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
Like all good cult movies (and DONNIE DARKO
is a very, very good cult movie), Richard Kelly's mind-bending feature
struck out in its initial theatrical release. I don't believe it even
played Cleveland auditoriums at the time except for two days at the
Cinematheque in University Circle in 2001. Ouch! But, in a rather
remarkable development, a groundswell of support from critics and DONNIE DARKO fans compelled distribs to actually give the property a second chance and re-release DONNIE DARKO
later in the decade with a higher-profile ad campaign. I don't think it
hit big then either, but the point is...this you've gotta see.
