Richard Ayoade on Submarine | Film4 Interview Special

Submarine is the feature film debut from writer/director Richard Ayoade, starring Noah Taylor, Paddy Considine, Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige and Sally Hawkins. 'I have been waiting too long for the film of my life. My name is Oliver Tate. This film will capture my particular idiosyncrasies, for example, the way I seduce my classmate Jordana Bevan using only my mind. Also, since my parents' marriage is being threatened by a man who runs courses on Mental and Physical Wellbeing, the film will probably feature some elaborate set-pieces of me taking him down. There will be helicopter shots. There will be slow-mo, but also transcendent moments, like when I cure my father's depression. Knowing me as I do, I will be surprised if this film runs to less than three hours. Note to the press: appropriate adjectives to describe this film include "breath-taking" and "irresistible" as well the phrase: "a monumental achievement".' - Oliver Tate Subscribe to Film4 for more interview specials, clips an
