![I was impressed with Richard Ayoade’s film Submarine. Although I’m not into “The IT Crowd”, I’ve loved Ayoade in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace and The Mighty Boosh. He’s a quick witted comedian and Submarine is a great example of putting this wit to great use.
The film centres around a 15 year old boy who thinks he’s unique and far more intelligent than he actually is. It’s one of those “coming of age” type of stories that is shot beautifully and feels similar to a Noah Baumbauch or Wes Anderson artistic type of film. The writing is sharp and although the film is slow at times, the ensemble cast does a great job keeping your interest.
I had heard nothing but praise for this film for the past year or so, and I’m glad I’ve finally had an opportunity to see it. If you’ve enjoyed films like “The Squid and the Whale”, or “The Life Aquatic”, this would definitely be up your alley.
