Richard Ayoades feature debut, Submarine, arrives on DVD.
Hes not a bad boy without moral values hes just a teenager in love.
Craig Roberts carries the film as the central character.
He may be pretentious, but hes never dislikeable.
Roberts performs with conviction, showing hes a talented actor with wonderful comic presence.
Richard Ayoades film is beautifully shot, and he adopts a personal, warm style of filming.
His script, based on the book by Joe Dunthorne, creates a world familiar to many of us.
Its never sickly sweet, nor is it depressing and morose.
There are also ten deleted scenes that explore more of Olivers life and the world he inhabits.
Ayoade is extremely funny in both.
The disc also contains interviews with the principle cast and last, collectively, just under 25 minutes.
It does occasionally slip into silliness but, on the whole, is thoroughly engaging.
