In 2010, British comedian Richard Ayoade earned a place of honor in the Wes Anderson family tree with his First Feature, "Submarine." Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts) is a peculiar 15-year-old teenager who has two goals in life: to prevent his mother from leaving her father and to find a first love that allows him to carry out his first sexual experiences. . A simple and trivial script, but a fresh and independent production, where the hero (or anti-hero) is soaked to the bone with emotion and melancholy, and from the very first scene the viewer is stripped naked with that direct look at the camera, playing metacinema There is not a single scene that is not a gift for the senses. The key lies in Ayoade's ingenuity to capture the symptoms of maladjustment in beautiful vignettes that play with the image through a multitude of frozen frames, slow motion and coded colours. All very British. Very eighties. In addition, he manages to create a protagonist with whom you shouldn't fully empathize (with a touch of unpleasantness, quite detached and somewhat selfish, and who seems to force his relationship with Jordana (Yasmin Paige) due to the need to not feel alone) but with whom You empathize a lot with that waste of sincerity and their desire to distinguish themselves from the rest of the world.

To all this we must add the small detail of having a Soundtrack by Alex Turner (vocalist of the Arctic Monkeys) which is another gift for the ears. His unmistakable voice and his acid lyrics become the narrative element that completes the film. I have a super special affection for this little gem.

My score 4.5/5
