Donnie Darko [4K UHD Mediabook Edition]

Richard Kelly - Donnie Darko [4K UHD Mediabook Edition]

Donnie is a troubled teenager: in therapy, prone to sleepwalking and haunted by an imaginary friend, a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. As a jet engine falls from the sky and Frank's instructions grow darker, Donnie must navigate high school, time travel and the fate of the universe.

Described by its director as "The Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. Dick," Richard Kelly's cult classic boasts a remarkable cast, including pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross and Noah Wyle, and an unforgettable '80s soundtrack featuring Echo & the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran. This edition presents both the Theatrical Cut and the Director's Cut in 4K, restored by Arrow Films and approved by Kelly.

Limited, numbered Mediabook edition with a 44-page book and a numbered slipcase featuring exclusive artwork by Greg Ruth.
