Richard Kelly Talks about his movie Donnie Darko

A short but interesting interview with Director and screenwriter of Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly. Donnie Darko, for me, belonged to a special class of movies that I ran across playing late at night on HBO and I immediately knew I had to watch again with friends. The movie assembled a quirky spookiness and a subversive flick to the ear of rigid normality in what is really a strange world.

I miss the time where there truly were cult classics that traveled under the radar so much that you never heard of them until you stumble across them during a channel search on TV at 2am. The excitement of bring something you enjoyed to friends confident that they’d probably never heard of it either. In a lot of very important ways, those days are gone. Sharing links aren’t the same.
