Subway (1985)

In the labyrinthine underworld of the Paris Métro, Fred, a dashing and eccentric thief, takes sanctuary from the law and the menacing goons of a powerful tycoon he has daringly robbed. He's not just a thief; he's a puppet master, pulling the strings in a strategic game of blackmail involving Héléna - the elegant, haughty wife of the millionaire he has outwitted. With the stolen treasures, he wields a power that sends her into a tailspin. As Fred weaves himself deeper into this surreal subterranean society, he finds himself surrounded by an unlikely band of comrades - outcasts and misfits who now form his unconventional family. Among them are the Roller, a nimble rollerskating pickpocket, and Big Bill, a formidable 'strongman'. Together, they navigate the shadowy, damp tunnels of their refuge, evading danger and embracing the strange reality of their existence. While the intertwined narrative of blackmail, danger, and a complex relationship with Héléna forms the heart of the story, there's a concurrent plotline that underscores Fred's artistic ambitions. In the echoing acoustics of the subway, he dreams of forming a band, recruiting the Métro's buskers in his quest for creative expression. As Fred's life unfolds in this hidden world, one can't help but wonder; can a sophisticated punk donned in a black dinner jacket truly find freedom in the dark recesses of the subway? And will his artistic dreams ever hit the right notes? The answers lie in the twisting tunnels of the Paris Métro, a world as vibrant and unpredictable as Fred himself.
