Submarine (2010)
Directed by Richard Ayoade
"I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid..."
If Wes Anderson made a British coming-of-age film, this would be it. Oliver Tate is every pretentious 15-year-old who ever existed, documenting his life like it's a movie (because it is). The cinematography is chef's kiss, all Super 8 film grain and melancholy Welsh coastlines.
You'll cry. You'll cringe. You'll want to write in a journal and wear a duffle coat.
essential tracks:
Alex Turner - "Stuck on the Puzzle"
