THE PASSION OF DARKLY NOON trailer

The trailer for the cult, strange arthouse-horror film THE PASSION OF DARKLY NOON (1995), written and directed by Philip Ridley. The film stars Brendan Fraser, Ashley Judd, Viggo Mortensen, Grace Zabriskie and Loren Dean. A film that is certainly not for all tastes, but fans of filmmakers like David Lynch and Peter Greenaway may very well love it.

the dvd has been released in canada so it plays on most dvd players too.

The Canadian DVD is awful though - as in, you'd-be-better-off-buying-a-V­HS-awful. So only get it if you're desperate.

is VHS still the only format we can get this movie?

this sucks, there should be a DVD!!!

[paintnothing]

It's been released on DVD in quite a few countries, especially around Europe, though the closest there is to a special edition is a rare French/Italian version that's in widescreen with director's commentary, but has subtitles "forced" onto the picture. (I pulled this trailer from that DVD.) We need a new special edition in remastered HD with 5.1/DTS sound with all the bells and whistles, dammit! And one for The Reflecting Skin, while they're at it!

Didn't you learn the lesson from the film? You need to paint yourself red, cover yourself in barb wire, and go mental.

The movie was great and very unique but I can't call it horror movie ----- maybe drama/mystery/thriller not horror.

Brendan Fraser was brilliant as insane young man. Ashley Judd was beautiful and hot as always.

I love the main idea --- When your deepest desire becomes your worst nightmare...

Philip Ridley, due to his lack of films, is overlooked, but what he does is superb!

[Harlock2day]

The scene in which Darkly wakes with ants on him reminds me of Dali's Un Chien Andalou. (He used ants as a symbol for death in his paintings & the image of them in that film almost gave me nightmares. Granted I was much too young to have seen it at the time.) I wonder if the silver shoe and elephant are a nod to surrealism too, or just a way to end on a lighter note. Even the way Darkly is named is much the way surrealists would have done things, but maybe I'm reading too much into this. ( :
