Product Description

Product Description

In the tradition of Urban Legends and Final Destination, Donnie Darko is an edgy, psychological thriller about a suburban teen coming face-to-face with his dark destiny. Jake Gyllenhaal leads a star-filled cast (including Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze and Mary McDonnell) as a delusional high-school student visited by a demonic rabbit with eerie visions of the past - and deadly predictions for the future. This "excitingly original" (Entertainment Weekly) nail-biter will keep you on the edge of your seat until the mind-bending climax.

Amazon.com

This unclassifiable but stunningly original film obliterates the walls between teen comedy, science fiction, family drama, horror, and cultural satire--and remains wildly entertaining throughout. Jake Gyllenhaal (October Sky) stars as Donnie, a borderline-schizophrenic adolescent for whom there is no difference between the signs and wonders of reality (a plane crash that devastates his house) and hallucination (a man-sized, reptilian rabbit who talks to him). Obsessed with the science of time travel and acutely aware of the world around him, Donnie is isolated by his powers of analysis and the apocalyptic visions that no one else seems to share. The debut feature of writer-director Richard Kelly, Donnie Darko is a shattering, hypnotic work that sets its own terms and gambles--rightfully so, as it turns out--that a viewer will stay aboard for the full ride. --Tom Keogh

Arrow Video 4K UHD 2-Disc Limited Edition Collector's Set
Donnie Darko is one my favorite movies and I owned the standard DVD edition, and then the special edition with Director's cut and also the Blu-ray edition with both versions (Theatrical/Director's cut). I watched the movie countless times since its release 20 years ago. Time flies (as told us by the ending lines of Head Over Heals).I think this is a very good 4K scan of the movie. It's definitely the best that the movie has ever looked (and I think it will be the best the movie will ever look, unless Criterion gets the copyrights and does some magic but I honestly think Arrow Video did a fantastic job). The movie is not crystal clear as some other blu-ray/4K movies but I think this is simply due to the way the movie was shot. The grains are just inherent artifacts of the movie and cannot be cleaned up (and neither should they be). So yes, there is grain but it's just natural and doesn't ruin the visual. I think Arrow Video made the right decision; while keeping the grain, they just enhanced the colors so they look much better (with HDR technology). I don't have any complaints about the video quality. I also appreciate the fact that Arrow Video treated both versions (theatrical and director's cut) to 4K UHD.As for audio, I am not sure why they didn't add Dolby Atmos. Maybe it's not possible to create/add dolby atmos audio to old some movies? I know some old movies released with dolby atmos so I am not sure why they didn't do with Donnie Darko. With the ominous sounds of thunder, the stormy skies, jet engine falling on top of the house, dolby atmos could really enhance the aural experience.The product comes in a nice, sturdy box, a 2-side poster (I will add the picture soon), and a 100 page hard-cover booklet with info, articles, interviews about the film, and photos from the movie. One thing I noticed that in the opening of the booklet, there is a section for the cast and Jena Malone's name is conspiciously missing from the cast. They listed the name of the actor who portrays the oblique "police man" character but the name of the actress who portrays Gretchen Ross, an important character in the movie is not listed in the cast. I thought that was weird. On other thing is the discs have no identifying info on them, both disc say "A film by Richard Kelly - Donnie Darko" but it doesn't say which one is Theatrical release and which is Director's cut. It doesn't also say disc 1. or disc 2. They were properly placed in the case but if you take them out and don't them back in the same order, you won't know which disc is the theatrical version and which disc is director's cut.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unraveling the Mysteries of "Donnie Darko"
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2024

Diving into 'Donnie Darko' has become an enduring fascination for me, drawing me back to its enigmatic depths time and time again. As I revisit the film, I'm continually intrigued by the diverse interpretations it evokes among viewers. Each viewing seems to unveil a fresh layer of insight, yet my personal interpretation remains remarkably consistent.

SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!

Here's how I decipher the enigmatic narrative:

The vortex depicted in the film serves as a gateway to a parallel universe, a notion that captivates me with its boundless possibilities. The engine crashing onto Donnie's house isn't merely a random event; rather, it's a catalyst from the tangent universe, a temporal anomaly lasting a mere 28 days.

The mechanics of time in parallel universes are left deliberately ambiguous, adding to the film's mystique. Donnie, designated as the 'living receiver,' possesses a unique ability to traverse between the primary and tangent universes. Whether through innate sensitivity or subconscious wanderings during his sleepwalking episodes, Donnie becomes a conduit between these worlds. It's through this connection that he gains insight into the events unfolding in the tangent universe, ultimately opting to sacrifice himself in the primary universe to avert the tragic fate looming in the alternate reality.

In a twist of cosmic irony, the engine's descent, originating from his mother and sister's plane, symbolizes the opening of the portal for Donnie—an unexpected and poignant revelation.

In my eyes, 'Donnie Darko' stands as a testament to cinematic brilliance, its narrative complexities and thematic depth transcending the confines of time. With each viewing, it continues to intrigue and inspire, solidifying its status as a true classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are reading this review, then you'll enjoy this DVD!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2003

This is not a review of the movie, but rather of the DVD. If you are getting this DVD because you think you might enjoy the movie you will, and if you saw the movie but aren't sure about spending some money on the DVD, well, you should. If you liked the movie, you'll definitely want to get this DVD and the extras that it offers. Basically, if you took the time to look into this DVD and read this review I think are someone who should buy the DVD. However, the extras aren't all they are cracked up to be as is often the case in DVDs and I want everyone out there to know what to expect.
There are 20 deleted or extended included in this DVD, but each on has to be played separately (no 'Play All' feature) and you must select commentary on/off for each one of them. This is not the best arrangement for a deleted/extended scenes section. The actual content of this section is pretty decent with most of the scenes having the possibility of really having added something to the story and most could've made the film had the director not had to cut the film down to 2 hours from the original rough cut of about 2 and half hours it originally had.
There are two commentaries on the DVD, one with the Richard Kelly (writer/director) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie) and another with Richard Kelly, two producers (Nancy Juvonen and Sean McKittrick) and several cast members: Holmes Osborne (Eddie, Donnie's Dad), Mary McDonnell (Rose, Donnie's Mom), Jimmy Duval (Frank), Beth Grant (Kitty Farmer, Donnie's Health Teacher), Drew Barrymore (Karen Pomeroy, Donnie's English Teacher), Katharine Ross (Dr. Thurman, Donnie's Therapist), and Jena Malone (Gretchen, Donnie's Girlfriend). First, the sound quality of the commentaries is below what one has to come to expect on commentaries. You can hear the commentary track fine, but the track of the movie itself is all but silent during the time in which the cast or crew is speaking, almost shut off which is a turn to many people (but you can put on closed caption, although that can often distract you from the commentary if you are reading it), and it is back to full regular volume when their is no active commentary. My only complaint on the second commentary is that Drew Barrymore often `hogs' the commentary and was way to close to the microphone (which only accented her shrill voice on this commentary) during the recording of the commentary, she tried to hard to be `deep' in her comments way too often and it gets annoying at times. Many of the tidbits and insights provided in both tracks are interesting and above par with many other movie commentaries, but by no means exceptional. It is fun listening to what Kelly and the others have to say and then watching the movie looking for these things on your own, but don't only watch the film looking for hints that the director left for the audience and nothing else; this takes away too much from the film, so don't do that.
The theatrical trailer is above average and can be appreciated by both those that have already seen the film and those than haven't. The several TV spots, all 30 seconds or less, are largely repetitious.
The cast & crew information section is above average listing all of the actors' other films through late 2002 (most DVDs list only some films and are not current beyond the movie on the DVD). There is a total of nine crew bios (as opposed to a simple list of past work) including Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick, Nancy Juvonen, Steve Poster (director of photography), Alexander Hammond (production designer), April Ferry (costume designer), Eric Strand (editor), Sam Bauer (editor), and Michael Andrews (composer).
The `Mad World' music video is OUTSTANDING, and I have seen it many, many times already. It is quite addicting, and even if I close my eyes and just listen to it, it is still great.
The `Website Gallery' is very hard to see and is not anything special and does not add anything to the DVD. What is shown is really a sampling of what the website has to offer, which is somewhat hard to navigate but during the cast and crew commentary they give you the three passwords for levels one, two and three if you listen closely.
The `Soundtrack' feature provides interesting linear notes, but is not an isolated soundtrack of the movie (which is really the score of the movie with the lone exception the `Mad World' Tears for Fears songs covered so eerily by Gary Jules for the movie).
The `Cunning Visions' section features the infomercials from in the movie with optional directors commentary). There is also a `His Name is Frank' section that is a fun little feature of several place cards that are designed like those featured in the Cunning Visions `exercise' in Donnie's health class and shown during Jim Cunningham's assembly. You can also look at the book covers used for Jim Cunningham's two books feature as background material during his assembly at the school.
`The Philosophy of Time Travel' book feature is disappointing showing only several pages (including the appendices featured in the film) and all the pages are hard to see.
The `Art Gallery section' is neat with a bunch of artwork that inspired works in the film and some of which was used directly in the film. The production stills are plentiful and interesting.
The `Scene Selection' feature is as good as any other DVD with moving images as opposed to stills to mark each chapter, and there are a total of 28; good for a 2 hour movie.
Overall, I enjoyed this DVD especially the `Mad World' music video and the two commentaries as I personally enjoy the opportunity to see the entire movie a different way when I can and the commentary tracks give me this opportunity.

Nachdem er nur knapp einen bizarren Unfall überlebt hat, wird ein psychisch labiler Teenager von Visionen eines großen Hasen heimgesucht, der ihn dazu bringt, eine Reihe von Verbrechen zu begehen.

Schon ein paar mal gesehen und immer wieder richtig gut. Das 2001 entstandene Erstlingswerk von Regisseur Richard Kelly (The Box) zieht den Zuschauer ab der ersten Szene tief in seinen Bann und lässt erst beim Abspann wieder los. Danach fängt das große Grübeln an, was nun gerade passiert ist-nicht umsonst gibt es genügend Diplomarbeiten zu Donnie Darko. Der ganze Film ist ein Riesen Puzzle mit vielen Teilen- aber jedes einzelne hat seinen Sinn und Zweck!
Seine Atmosphäre, sein Look, seine Darsteller, der Soundtrack und natürlich diese geniale Story über Wurmlöcher, Zeitreise , Alternative Zeitebenen,… hier gibts für Thriller, Drama, Fantasy und Coming of Age Fans genügend Futter.
Ab und an könnte er etwas straffer erzählt werden, aber auch so ist der Film Super!

Das 4K Bild ist nicht wirklich ein Vorzeigetitel. Klar, bei hellen Szenen gibts viele Details zu entdecken, Donnie Darko ist aber weitestgehend ein düsterer und dunkler Film. Soll heißen, dunkle Szenen, wenig Belichtung- passend zur Atmosphäre. Zwar besser als die BR, aber eben kein Vorzeigetitel für HDR bzw. UHD TVs. Die Durchzeichnung sowie der Schwarzwert sind ok, aber richtig scharf ist das Bild selten. Am meisten leuchtet der Kronleuchter im Haus oder die silbernen Tanzkostüme in der schulaufführung. Ein Upgrade zur Blu Ray ja… aber ein kleines.

Der dts HD MA Ton ist aber sehr gut, dynamisch und präzise. Hier gibts nichts zu meckern. Auch der tolle Soundtrack klingt sauber und schön im Raum verteilt.

Achja, es sei ALLEN der ca. 20 Minuten längere Directors Cut ans Herz gelegt, da dieser mehr Fragen aufklärt, den Zuschauer mehr an die Hand nimmt und leichter zu verstehen ist.

Vielen lieben Dank fürs Durchlesen! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Prachtige editie, enorm slecht op 4K Blu-ray gezet
Reviewed in the Netherlands on July 1, 2023

Deze Duitse limited collectors edition van Donnie Darko is echt een mooie aanwinst voor de collectie. Helaas zit er geen Nederlandse of Engelse ondertitels bij, maar dat wist ik op voorhand al. 3 mooie grote posters, een set kaarten, een set art cards en een magneet sieren in de doos. Wat wel even flink tegen viel was dat ik echt dacht dat er een steelbook in de verpakking zou zitten. Helaas was het een kartonnen sleeve waar de film in zat, maar goed. Ook dat nam ik voor lief want de box is echt oogstrelend mooi.

Waar ik wel dik ontevreden over ben is de absurd slechte kwaliteit hoe de film op de 4K schijf is gezet. Volgens mij hebben ze niets aan de film gerestaureerd, maar hebben ze een simpele slechte upscaling gedaan waarbij de HDR de film extreem donker maakt, waardoor de film in donkere stukken amper te volgen is en waarbij het in helder fel daglicht wel lijkt alsof de avond net is gevallen. Ook het geluid is niet om over naar huis te schrijven. Voor een box van meer dan 50 euro mag je toch wel verwachten dat de film er eerste klas op staat. Ik stuur de box niet terug omdat de verpakking te mooi is, maar ik zal de film uit deze box nooit meer kijken, ik zet de gewone Blu-ray wel op.

Esta película tuvo una recepción muy baja debido a que salió en muy mal momento (11-S) y de hecho fue un fracaso en taquilla. Tras un tiempo fue catalogada como un clásico de culto instantáneo, pero aquí en España solo fue editada en DVD y encima con muy pocas unidades, por lo que o te la comprabas en DVD si tenías suerte o de importación sin castellano. Ahora Amazon ha sacado una gran edición en Blu-Ray de esta gran Obra Maestra y encima en castellano. A todos los que visteis la película y os gustó no dudéis en haceros con esta edición, pues solo tiene 2000 unidades en toda España, así que daros prisa u os quedaréis sin la película.

Editado: he leído una opinión de una persona que dice que no incluye audio en castellano, que solo los subtítulos, pues no hagáis caso, la película incluye audio en perfecto castellano, lo que pasa es que hay escenas añadidas (incluidas en esta edición al ser la versión del director) que no llegaron a traducirse, tipo Alien 3 (ya que en España solo se publicó la versión de cine), por lo que están en inglés subtitulado al castellano, pero la película SI está en castellano, tanto audio como subtítulos.

Donnie Darko es una excelente película de fantasía y ciencia ficción la cual por fin recibe un trato remasterizado adecuado en una bellísima edición limitada.¿Qué incluye este lanzamiento en blu-ray?

*La película en su versión original de cine remasterizada, con excelente calidad de imagen y sonido. Se incluye tanto en blu-ray como en dvd.
*La película en su versión extendida, con una duración adicional de aproximadamente 20 minutos, nuevamente remasterizada, de igual manera se incluye en blu-ray y dvd.
*Carta Roberta Sparrow que incluye postales con arte de la película
*Poster de la película en tamaño grande (doblado, se incluye dentro de la caja)
*Mini-libro con información de la película, comentarios de los actores y del director

Todo empacado en una muy bonita caja de material duro que incluye tres paquetes (uno para la edición del cine, otro para la edición extendida y otro del libro). IMPORTANTE: esta edición no incluye subtitulo en español, solamente en inglés por lo que si buscas adquirirla toma eso en consideración, adicionalmente te recomiendo tener cuidado al sacar los discos de la caja ya que está un poco complicado y podrías dañar el empaque.

La edición está creada para los fans del film, si es de tus película favoritas o eres fan de la misma, no dudes en adquirirla, no te arrepentirás.
