Subway (1985)
Country: FR
Technical: col/scope 104m
Director: Luc Besson
Cast: Christophe Lambert, Isabelle Adjani, Richard Bohringer
Synopsis:
A free-spirited safe-cracker hides out from hoods in the Paris métro, but still hankers after the head honcho's girl and decides to form a band while he's waiting for her from the down-and-outs he finds there.
Review:
Very much of its time, this hip, designer series of riffs around the theme of disrespect for authority runs on energy and humour, which it possesses in abundance, but hardly adds up to a coherent whole. If you're happy with the inconsequentiality, and the exhaustive use of close-ups to study its not-so-profound characters' faces, then it's quite entertaining.
