Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Submarine (2010)

Genre: Comedy / Drama
Directed by: Richard Ayoade
Starring: Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Noah Taylor
Running time: 97 minutes



Submarine is the coming-of-age story of Oliver Tate, a 15-year-old who lives in Wales and who, at the same time, has to go through his first love and the troubled relationship of his parents. This movie is based on the book of the same name written by Joe Dunthorne,

I really appreciated this film, as it really takes you deep into the life and mind of this boy who is about to become a man. Craig Roberts, a young Welsh actor I don’t know much about, did a very good job here, truly bringing the character of Oliver Tate to life.

I recognized myself in some of the thoughts of the main character in Submarine, since I had the same at that age. I did not necessarily have the same path and life, but some of the thoughts I truly identified with.

Overall, Submarine is a very good movie. Took a few weird turns and ended ambiguously, but really worth a watch.
