SPECIAL EVENT

Donnie Darko
in cinemas from Saturday December 17th, 2016

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of a true cult classic, a special 4K restoration will be released in cinemas this month.

Troubled teenager Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) survives a bizarre accident, while a vision of a large bunny rabbit tells him that the world will be coming to an end.
Donnie’s behaviour and grip on reality become increasingly irrational, as we’re drawn into a mind-bending journey where our title character looks to alter time and destiny.

This will be a rare chance for fans to see this film on the big screen, and a perfect way for those unfamiliar to introduce themselves to this original and imaginative classic.
