Coming-of-age film "Submarine"

In Richard Ayoade's new film "Submarine" a boy from Wales, the rise of the outsider trying to cool guys. Purposeless.
Eventually, as Oliver is once again humiliated in front of all other students, because he loves the wrong woman has long hair or just enough fights, one wonders whether "Submarine" is not an entirely different movie could have been.One who tells them that puberty has its good sides, working title: "How happy I was with 15" or better: "My successful first time." That would be really something new.
Instead, the British director Richard Ayoade tells of a youth, where everything goes wrong, and not allow things holds many surprises: a gangly teenager in the province has problems with girls and suffers from its staid at home. Oliver (Craig Roberts) from Wales, read Shakespeare, but secretly wants to be part of the cool guys. To escape his outsider existence, he decides to find a girlfriend and also the marriage of his parents to bring back into balance.Attack from the Unseen
Lurking in the small-town high school world, the clichés at every turn, which is not necessarily bad if they are oversubscribed as shrill as Ayoade: The schoolyard bullying is a battlefield, known only to victims or perpetrators. The girl, in which the hero falls in love ignites, preferably at random things, so it is exciting. And Oliver's parents live a caricature of a dead husband, who appears in a movie night with the neighbors like a swashbuckling adventure. As Oliver's father (Noah Taylor), a marine biologist, learns of his new girlfriend, he expresses his son only once a cassette with some rock in the hand that supposedly was already in his youth very helpful.

Segunda Mano

That is absurdly comic horrors Oliver pulls himself back into his thoughts. As the U-boat on the poster that hangs on his wall, he tried to dive and to operate out of obscurity. A fake love letter to his mother (Sally Hawkins) is to lie down, let their passion for the glow father. A classmate who is more unpopular than he writes Oliver a booklet on bullying defense.And of course, flirting with the pyromaniac Jordana (Yasmin Paige) is planned meticulously. Like trying to persuade his conquest at last for the first sex: nice in a suit and tie, with red balloons and flowers sea. Of course still ends in disaster.And if he still gets what he wants, then stays out of the hoped-for redemption.
Directed by Richard Ayoade is a well known comedian in his homeland and has shot music videos for bands like the Arctic Monkeys. Their singer and songwriter Alex Turner then also contributed the soundtrack for "Submarine."Ayoade is a master at creating mood and bad mood. The respectable homes, junkyards and the railroad tracks, the forlorn town, all that is set in a convincing scene. The light from Wales is as gloomy as the view of the protagonist, and Oliver is not a spectator envy for his life.
But even the compassion has its limits, because ultimately the story follows fairly familiar patterns. Oliver is so awkward and obstinate, that he is quickly becoming the biggest spinners spin this film reach, you can not really close to him. He lurches from one mishap to another, without being out of his damage is sometimes wiser. For a while it's fun to watch this eccentric and wait for it turns out that the genius in freak shows up. But sometimes there is just only a freak.
