Submarine, starring Sally Hawkins and Noah Taylor is the directorial debut of IT Crowd star Richard Ayoade. His gentle comedy follows a 15-year-old boy's attempts to save his parent's marriage, plus lose his virginity to his first love.
Its hard to pick a favourite scene but it might have to be when Oliver and his dad are sat at the table together and the phone rings Oliver- "It might be mum" Dad- "It might be Jordana" ... They both ignore the phone
Saw this movie at an early screening last month. Without knowing anything at all about it, I thought it was brilliant and hope to see more from Ayoade like this. Highly recommend.
it basically means that when you cut from one person to another the camera doesn't cross over 180 degrees, so that one person is always on the left of the screen and one on the right of the screen, this helps the viewer understand who someone is talking to, establishing where they are in relation to each other. Here the rule is broken and both Kermode and Mayo are on the left of the screen.
Mayo and Kermode are very close friends. The banter between the two is partly what makes these so worth watching. Go moan about something important, you sad buggers.
@abyz1256 And what point would that be? That just because they're good mates anything Mayo says is good radio and Kermode can be interrupted to the point of being sidelined? Is that "the point"? Its radio, not two mates in a pub. Mayo kills the rhythm - continuously. Its not clever, its not witty. Its just annoying. But hey, that just MHO. You obviously think he's side-splitting.
I'm not disputing they're best buddies, but IMHO, the rapport doesn't come over. They're not having a conversation - Kermode is letting loose with his 800 word/one sentence critiques, and Mayo....interrupts - with nothing to add. He stops Kermode dead. Good radio this does not make. Mayo may know all about radio and pop music, but as far as film knowledge is concerned, he is dwarfed by his guest/best mate and should know enough about broadcasting to keep quiet and let Kermode do his thing.
I think Richard Ayede-what's his name, is great, this film has some stunning moments, but the story itself is simply not that interesting, yet another coming of age film,
you've said that twice? The directing, of actors and photography is both pretty great. The shots are amazing and sometimes even beatiful and the actors are expressive and their phisicality in the film (particualy Roberts and Conside) are amazing.
