Having just finished the film, it had left me with this strange feeling; not an anti climax per se, however an empty one nonetheless. Oliver's actions seemed to sink him lower, as he had attempted common ground, but the more we got to know his mum and his girlfriend, the more I felt that the connections he had were just as intoxicating as his absence to them. No one in his circle truly know how to help each other - I mean, the tension the mother infested could hardly be justified. And the girlfriend clearly gave Oliver an unreliable mindset. So, in conclusion, I think the reason why I have this empty feeling is because, unlike other films, none of these problems actually get solved. They just continue...
I like the theory that Jordana isn’t real in the last scene. She’s in his head and he’s about to drown himself. The title is submarine after all. Jordana is there with a black dog, known as a bad omen. Not to mention the final line in the narration: “this is, no doubt, the end”.
really enjoyed this, i loved this film as it was anyway, but this interpretation massively helped me understand it more after id been left a little confused on rewatch. thank you.
