Donnie Darko*
US 2001. Metrodome/Pandora/Flower Films. 128m(Director's Cut). Panavision

A psychologically dysfunctional California teenager has visions of a 6-foot rabbit at a porthole to the end of the world.
Paranoid and self-regarding but undeniably watchable dark fantasy, set for whatever reason (nostalgia presumably) in 1988 before the election of President George Bush (Snr), with a welter of references and famous actors from that era, with some good performances among them.
