LATE NIGHT CULT CLASSIC PRESENTED BY BOOKMANS
http://www.bookmans.com

"A touching, audacious and blackly comic salad bowl of science fiction, teen romance, and weird '80s-satire ... one of the best fantasy films of the past decade." - DVD JOURNAL

Put yourself into "Sparkle Motion" with the original cut of this modern cult classic that made us all fear the bunny.
Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is an unstable teenager in a not-quite-normal suburbia whose existence becomes even more surreal after a dislocated jet engine crashes into his room. Following that, he has a vision of a six-foot rabbit named Frank who tells him the world will end in 28 days. Eerily evocative cinematography, a mind-bending screenplay (involving time travel, fate and alternate universes) and wicked satire highlight this utterly unique flick about a disenchanted teenager trying to make a stand in a lonely, chaotic world.
With a great soundtrack featuring Gary Jules and Michael Andrews' haunting cover of the Tears for Fears song "Mad World," and stellar acting support from Drew Barrymore, Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Duval and Patrick Swayze!

(Richard Kelly, 2001, 113 mins., rated R)
