Synopsis

An astonishing (and shockingly overlooked) debut feature that defies categorization. A one-of-a-kind blend of social satire, coming-of-age drama, apocalyptic sci-fi, and horror elements; its utter wildness and complexity are contrasted by surprisingly deep currents of emotion. A middle-class teen (Jake Gyllenhaal) endures frightening visions that may be a warning of impending doom, a key to time travel, or possibly just a sign that he needs to stay on his medication. Added to this are more typical problems of burgeoning sexuality and suburban hypocrisy. With Jena Malone, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, Patrick Swayze, Noah Wyle and Drew Barrymore. "Part comic book, part case study, this is certainly the most original and venturesome American indie I've seen this year" (J. Hoberman, The Village Voice). Richard Kelly---USA---2001---113 mins.
