Submarine

Excellent new film on this week at The Electric Palace, Hastings own independent cinema. I keep telling you how important it is to be part of and absorb popular culture or there is no point in you being part of the industry - and it's independent films like this that inspire and inform marketing, design and media - so make a habit of visiting the cinema, reading the papers and keeping up with the arts - or you will be left behind and - essentially, be ignorant.





















Submarine
Thu 29 Sep // Fri 30 Sep // 20:00 / Electric Palace Cinema - Old Town
Dir. Richard Ayoade / 2010 / UK

This debut comedy drama follows a 15-year old boy who has two objectives: to lose his virginity to the girl of his dreams before his next birthday, and to stop his mother (Sally Hawkins) from leaving his father and hooking up with a new age mystic. What excels Ayoade's film from being just another British coming of age story is the stylishness of his direction. Presented in the fashion of a French New Wave film he gives Submarine an aurora of quirkiness and creativity rarely found in British cinema.

    Oh cool - thanks for this, Richard! I'm a bit if a fan of Ayoade but had no idea he had a film out. Definitely going to watch that.
