Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

This dark and highly stylized French import directed by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, The Professional) concerns an enigmatic safecracker played by Christopher Lambert (Highlander) hiding out in the Paris Metro system from a gangster. While living in the underground and eluding both gangsters and Metro police he meets up with a group of colorful and quirky subterranean inhabitants eager to help him and start a rock band. All the while the safecracker blackmails a rich woman (Isabelle Adjani) with whom he is in love. Meant to be a tongue-in-cheek commentary on urban life, the film works better as a light freewheeling entertainment, with well-constructed fast-paced action sequences and a breezy sense of humor about itself. Subway is an intriguing diversion and a chance to see the cutting edge of modern French moviemaking. --Robert Lane


Chronique amazon.fr

Aujourd'hui encore, Subway conserve un charme certain et prouve le sens du rythme de Luc Besson. L'image est meilleure que peut le laisser supposer le menu. Certaines scènes obscures mettent à rude épreuve l'encodage du disque mais le master est, dans l'ensemble, de bonne qualité. Outre une piste audio stéréo, on trouve une piste remasterisée selon le nouveau procédé Arkamys, qui permet une meilleure spatialisation du son et une plus grande chaleur des sonorités. Même si une écoute au casque ou avec plusieurs enceintes est conseillée, la différence doit se faire entendre sur toutes les configurations. En revanche, le son bénéficie de plus de précision et de plus de chaleur que la bande stéréo. La voix du regretté chanteur de Its Only Mystery est chaleureuse et précise. Côté bonus, uniquement les bandes-annonces des films du réalisateur présents au catalogue de l'éditeur. --M.T.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this film, Sep 30 2003
By Eolake "eolake.blogspot.com" (Lancashire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I love this film.
It is just full of strokes of genius, visually, musically, and rythmically.

Like Blues Brothers or Pulp Fiction, it has some magical sense of timing that defies description, but lifts the whole to a new level.

This film is very enigmatic. Unlike Besson's later films, it relies less on atmoshpere and cinematic appeal, and focuses solely on the characters. Read more
