Film Description

La Femme Nikita (Luc Besson, 1990). Nikita is a 19-year old junkie who is arrested following a violent raid on a chemist's shop, during which she shoots a cop. Officially sentenced to life for the murder, she strikes a bloody and inescapable bargain with the state: declared dead by the authorities, she is offered a second chance if she agrees to train as a top flight government assassin. Nikita is given a new identity and is sent back into the world as a kind of female Terminator, cold-bloodedly killing to order. However, her life takes a turn when she falls in love with the charming Marco from whom she must hide her dangerous secret.
Subway (Luc Besson, 1985). Subway bursts onto the screen with a maniacal car chase by Lambert and Adjani who collide with a roller skating purse snatcher and a bizarre assortment of underworld fugitives. Besson mixes humour and action with consummate ease and gains charismatic performances from a superb cast in a film where enthusiasm and a passion for the cinema shine out of every frame.
