ABOUT THE FILM
Besson’s second feature after The Last Battle. Subway is a vivid urban odyssey which helped to consolidate his growing reputation for unique, visually creative cinema. Nominated for a BAFTA for Best Foreign Language Film, Subway thrust star Lambert into the spotlight. Winning him a César Award for Best Actor. With a soundtrack from Éric Serra – who would become Besson’s regular collaborator. And dazzling cinematography by Carlo Varini (The Big Blue). This is a film that Eye For Film says showcases Besson’s “extraordinary visual talent” that is “replete with images that will burn themselves into your brain”.

As Fred’s bond with Héléna deepens. And as his life interweaves with the denizens living in the shadows, the police and the mob close in from all angles…
