SUBMARINE
Fifteen-year-old Oliver suffers from romantic yearnings, routine bullying at school, a gloomy home life and the acute self-consciousness of a precocious sophisticate. Nothing special distinguishes Oliver, except a fondness for narrating in anxious voiceover and visualising his mundane life as a film, complete with references to camera angles. When Oliver falls for classmate Jordana, she rather brings out the worst in him. Jordana seems to enjoy bullying so Oliver tries to impress her by helping to torment another girl. It’s a shocking moral lapse, but it does the trick, and Oliver and Jordana embark on a gauche liaison. I hate to say this – the word isn't in my vocabulary, normally – but the film is charming.
