Tom Tykwer, director of HEAVEN! (D, 1997,124 min)

ysterious accident. The winter landscape's eeriness reflects the un-predict=
ability of the emotions. Almost hallucinatory events begin to unfold and en=
gulf four young people. Tom Tykwer made a film about landscapes and emotion=
s that plays elegantly with genres:thriller, melodrama and love story.

DONNIE DARKO
Richard Kelly (2001, USA, 112 min)
Donnie Darko would seem to be an average high school kid, except for his se=
lf-described "emotional problems". As it happens, Donnie has a problem slee=
pwalking, and has been seeing visions of a six-foot bunny who fills his hea=
d with stories of the impending end of the world, which will happen in just=
less than a month's time. This is the sort of thing one seeks therapy and =
medication for, and Donnie has plenty of both, but things take a strange tu=
rn one night when his imaginary friend lures him out of the house just befo=
re a jet engine crashes into his bedroom. If that weren't odd enough, no on=
e can quite explain where this engine came from, as there were no planes fl=
ying nearby at the time. Perhaps the bunny has a point after all? Only Donn=
ie can know for sure.
