FREE ON CINEGEEK.De Luc Besson - Subway 

Subway wants to be a subculture, but it's not. Christopher Lambert and Isabelle Adjani have dressed up as punks and are chasing through the Paris Metro. I used to think it was stupid - after all, I wanted to see "real" subculture and not theatre. That's exactly Subway - but today I enjoy it! Fred (Christopher Lambert), with blond hair, flees with a stolen car from pursuers in black suits. He jumps out of the car and runs into the metro. The Paris Metro is the world of the drummer Jean Reno plays. Here live "weird" guys who know every corner of the subway network. Fred calls Héléna (Isabelle Adjani), because at her party he blew up a safe with documents. Now he suggests an exchange. This "plot" takes place between different music or action interludes that make use of the fund of film history. Nothing is real, we are in the "Cinema Du Look": Style Over Substance! Subway is a reflex to the trends of the time: Punk, New Wave, Neo-Noir and so forth. A spawn of the 80s. He could run for hours on MTV; a walkman for the eyes. Eric Serra's musical carpet to it looks like a self-service store. Subway is Luc Besson's second film, whose strength has always been images, but never dialogue. We can enjoy a few samples, for example when Isabelle Adjani talks to her husband's friends at his dinner (exchange of words like from the school performance of some high school students). But Subway won something else (and maybe Besson can't help it): The charm of nostalgia. This is one of those movies that seem like a journey through time. Subway is hopelessly biased in his time and therefore we are forced to go back to the 80s with the film. If you want to start this journey, watch Subway!
