Review of Subway (1985) by Nigel R — 17 Aug 2007
There appears to be a Luc Besson bias in my favourites. This will always have a place in my heart. It was one of the first films shown at Manchester's Cornerhouse cinema and one of the first I reviewed at the start of my time as the college film critic.
Not much of a story but the style is everything. Fred (Christophe Lambert) is one of Besson's favourite characters - somehow outside of the society he inhabits. Similar personalities follow with Nikita (Anne Parillaud version, not Brigit Fonda) and Leon.
Special mention also for Richard Bohringer - If ever there was a Frenchman born to say "Bof" it is he.
