Actors: Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige
Director: Richard Ayoade
The memoir has become especially popular in recent years - lacking other subjects, it's pretty easy to just start talking about yourself. I don't know if Submarine is actually a memoir, but it's written like one, so I'll treat that way. Regardless, it's easy to see Submarine as a precious, W. Anderson-soaked look at middle-class British adolescence replete with snarky voiceover narration. And true enough, Submarine's protagonist is somewhat Max Fischer-esque in his various pursuits and insights. Still, trapped under the layers of irony are a pretty sweet story about an only child pursuing a girl while trying to keep his parents' marriage together. The direction is inspired but sometimes overly showy - the film is love with cuts to the point where it becomes gimmicky.
