Just got in from seeing “Submarine”, Richard Ayoade’s directorial debut. It’s based on Joe Dunthorne’s debut novel. I haven’t read it and I don’t think I’ll be doing so soon. Technically, the film is very good indeed but the plot is, …well, Dunthorne lives in Hackney, apparently; thus only the addition of “ed” is needed to turn the author’s place of residence into an adjective that describes his story.
An unpleasant, Welsh, Adrian Mole and his dysfunctional family meet Tracy Beaker and similar. Jonathan Romney, The Independent’s film reviewer described the film as “charming”. I suggest if anyone needs to borrow a tenner, Romney may be your man. It apparently takes not very much to charm him.
