Subway is a 1985 French film directed by Luc Besson, starring Isabelle Adjani and Christopher Lambert and is part of the Cinema du look movement. Having stolen some compromising documents, a man known as Fred takes refuge in the underground world of the Paris Métro. While the henchmen of the gangster owner of the documents chase him, Fred develops a relationship with the gangster's young trophy wife Héléna who is bored with her gilded-caged life. Fred decides to form a band and perform in the subway. Among the band members are the Drummer and the Bass Player . At a... performance with the newly formed band he is shot by the henchmen of Héléna's husband before she can reach him to warn him of the approaching danger. The film ends with her kneeling beside him, Fred lying on his back looking content and singing along to the band playing in the background. The ending is left open as to what actually happens in the growing love relation between Fred and Helena — and to whether he survives.
