Submarine by Richard Ayoade

So, I finally saw it. It made promises, and it delivered. The "feel-awkward" coming of age film adapted from Joe Dunthorne's novel employed stunning shots and deft camera techniques.

Lovely aesthetic, oh, and did I mention the soundtrack was my Alex Turner...

To Share Some Little Treasures With Friends
