Christopher Lambert plays a thief who robs a house and hides out in the subway, only to discover a huge subculture existing under the Paris streets. desertcart.co.uk Review An early work from director Luc Besson, Subway is a dark and highly stylised picture which concerns an enigmatic safecracker (Christopher Lambert) hiding out in the Paris Metro system. While living in the underground and eluding both gangsters and Metro police he meets up with a group of colourful 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 humour about itself. Subway is an intriguing diversion and a chance to see the cutting-edge of contemporary French moviemaking. --Robert Lane Review: stylish and fun - After a typically wild and funny car chase from French master Luc Besson, the protagonist heads underground into the Paris Metro, never to emerge for the duration of the picture. And, after being chased by thugs, he then heads behind-the-scenes, as it were, to the non-public areas of the vast system where he meets the denizens of a complex subterranean culture. This is the premise of Besson's wonderful early film, Subway. Mr. Besson sets the stage in this one for his action series, Taxi, complete with loveable characters, villains, fast edits, fast action, great actors working in ensemble. First among these is Christophe Lambert, fresh off his success as Tarzan so he is suitably athletic, young and achingly handsome in a blonde punk haircut. His character, Fred, has fallen for Isabelle Adjani as Elena -- and who can blame him? Her slow entrance, down a staircase in the subway in a glorious cocktail dress of gray silk, is full of portent for the fun to come. Elena had invited Fred to her house for a party, where he promptly blew the safe (because he 'can't stand safes'), stole papers, and he is now pursued by her not-so-nice husband and his henchmen. Other inhabitants of the underground world include Jean-Hugues Anglade as a thief on skates, Jean Reno as a drummer in the band Fred wants to manage, and a host of recognizeable French character actors obviously delighted to work with Besson. Mr. Lambert's French is perfect, though born American, because he was raised in Switzerland by his diplomat father. He was a French star before the Highlander film made him an American megastar. It is wonderful to see such actors in their youth, looking so beautiful, and having such a good time. This is a hallmark of a Besson film and the fun is infectious. Review: SUBWAY....A LOST GEM...FOUND - GREAT MOVIE. I never herad of this film until I recently read on blu-ray dot com that a new Blu-ray edition was coming soon. So I checked and located this older (but great) Blu-ray edition was available for a fair price. It arrived fast. I really like desertcart dot comUK and have bought from them a great deal since around 2004! As for Subway. Check this out. Christopher Lambert in a pre-Highlander role... It's a Luc Beeson film. How can you not be intrigued. 4 out of 5 stars. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000087I25 | | Actors | Christopher Lambert, Isabelle Adjani, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Michel Galabru, Richard Bohringer | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 2.35:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 72,974 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 2,521 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 12,456 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) 20,612 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (544) | | Director | Luc Besson | | Dubbed: | Italian, Spanish | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | French | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 18.03 x 13.76 x 1.48 cm; 80 g | | Producers | Francois Ruggieri, Luc Besson | | Run time | 1 hour and 38 minutes | | Studio | Sony Pictures Home Ent. | | Subtitles: | Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish | | Writers | Alain Le Henry, Luc Besson, Marc Perrier, Pierre Jolivet, Sophie Schmidt | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** PAL - **Language:** French - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 38 minutes ## Images ![Subway [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41TwIOsPXEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stylish and fun *by M***O on 25 November 2009* After a typically wild and funny car chase from French master Luc Besson, the protagonist heads underground into the Paris Metro, never to emerge for the duration of the picture.

It was a New Romantic paeon to a generation leaving the spiritual and material poverty of a bourgeous society of the second-half of the 1970's in which there was nothing to do or consume on a Sunday and precious little for the rest of the week. It was also quintessentially French: Peugeot 205 driven faster than its chasis ideally allowed; an exquisitely exotic and beautiful French actress wearing diamonds with back-combed hair descending the steps of a metro station in an evening dress; music literally played Underground by pop artists re-discovering their souls through pop music. France, then, still had cultural swagger and was also happy putting its own cultural problems front-of-picture. At the time, only 50% of the French young were self-identifiably happy with their social context and prospects; 25% were self-declared rebels and 25% were unemployed and, in some cases, possibly happier with that badge than not. This meant 50% of the French young didn't 'buy in' to the coming consumerist revolution. This was a generation that was still non-materialistic, still troubled by the ghosts of existentialism and looking for a haircut that expressed it. 'Iroquois'. The 'ennui' of Arquette's character... But make no mistake, this is movie with whale corset-bones of classic filmmaking, too. The cast is impeccable. The police commissioner is superbly borrowed from a salty, dusty, cynical fag-end of the '70's and is brilliant as such. Christophe Lambert, on his way from one planet to another, offers a James Bond-like figure for the stateless and abandoned. There are others who come right out Central Casting from the mid-1980's. This was a society on the cusp of falling out of love with socialism but still with visceral hatred of capitalism. It is still Revolutionary, but, for this moment, lost Underground and whimsical, wistful and supremely lyrical with it. A masterpiece. ## Frequently Bought Together - Subway - La Femme Nikita - Diva (Remastered Widescreen Edition) (Meridian Collection) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/62007006-subway-dvd](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/62007006-subway-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
