Donnie Darko (5/5)
Posted on 1 Jan 2009
I’ve reached the point of diminishing returns on this film. I don’t recommend the Director’s Cut or the commentary, both tragically demystify the film and any deep or nuanced ideologies you may have secretly fathomed. An example of how over-explaining your creation can ruin the experience of your audience. My shorthand: If Lynch and Hughes rewrote Back To The Future into an episode of The Bloodhound Gang.
Got something to say?
