Donnie Darko/ Blue Velvet
Donnie Darko/ Blue Velvet : short review
Two films. Donnie Darko - During the presidential election of 1988, a teenager named Donnie Darko sleepwalks out of his house one night, and sees a giant, demonic-looking rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. He returns home the next morning to find that a jet engine has crashed through his bedroom. As he tries to figure out why he survived and tries to deal with people in his town, like the school bully, his conservative health teacher, and a self-help guru, Frank continues to turn up in Donnie's mind, causing him to commit acts of vandalism and worse. Blue Velvet - Twin Peaks creator David Lynch presents a disturbing vision of the dark side of human nature in this tantalising, sensuous mystery set in small-town America. When he meets Dorothy, a hauntingly beautiful cabaret singer, Jeffrey is torn between his love for her and the violence of her lover Frank, a psychotic killer fuelled by bizarre sexual fantasies. A modern classic of lives lived on the brink, of shocking perversion lying just beneath the surface of normality.
Join this musical journey through the magnificent forests and wetlands of the extinct Mount Warning volcano situated on the New South Wales and Queensland border of Australia's East coast. As the Sun rises we begin our journey from the pounding ocean, the source of life giving moisture, to the cloud capped peaks. In this 70-minute soundscape we follow the stream of life from the lush rainforests and breathtaking waterfalls, down the Eucalypt forest where Pretty Faced Wallabies graze. After descending from the valleys we flow gently into the mangroves and wetlands, where water dragons and wetland birds search for their last meals of the day. Accompanied by the music of Handel, Bizet, Grieg, Elgar, Borodin, Satie and other master composers, performed by the West Australian, Tasmanian, Queensland, Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras.
