Submarine (2010)
Directed by Richard
Ayoade this film based on the novel of the same name stars Craig
Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Noah Taylor, Paddy Considine and Sally
Hawkins. A 15 year old boy falls in love while his parents appear to
be falling out of love.
There are many coming
of age tales out there and this one is told with some personality and
humour thanks to the highly quirky protagonist. It is very easy to
sit back and enjoy this well told tale of youthful misunderstanding
as an immature person tries to deal with mature situations. I like
the way the direction reflects the pretentious attitude of the main
character using hints of French New Wave and the like to accentuate
the story telling.
4/5
