I've heard so much praise for Submarine, the British coming of age story that has been wowing audiences at film festivals for months. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Richard Ayoade(The IT Crowd), and tells the story of a socially awkward boy(Craig Roberts) on the verge of his 16th birthday. He struggles to keep his parents'(Noah Taylor and Sally Hawkins) marriage intact, while also trying to finally lose his virginity to his pyromaniac girlfriend before he turns 16.
A trailer for the film has finally been released, which you can see below. Off the bat I get hints of Wes Anderson, and in the main character I'm sensing some of the intelligence of a Noah Baumbach. Those aren't two of my favorite filmmakers, so the trailer isn't doing much for me at the moment. Here's hoping there's more to it than we're presented here.
