In the late nineties the city of Los Angeles completed the most ambitious underground railway project in history. An engineering feat made all the more impressive given the fact that L.A. is one of the world's earthquake hot spots. The Metro Red Line train number 7 is unusually busy for a saturday night. As the train passes between Universal and Hollywood stations a massive earthquake strikes. The powerful jolt sends the train crashing into the collapsed tunnel. When the authorities refuse to send in a rescue team the survivors face a battle for their lives or face the prospect of a deep concrete grave.

Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e. a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them colour-coded aliases (Mr Orange, Mr Pink, Mr White) to conceal their identities even from each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception and betrayal.As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson

Boy Meets Girl (1984): ...love without regrets... Leos Carax's (Pola X Lovers on the Bridge) brilliant feature debut follows the relationship of an aspiring filmmaker (Denis Lavant) who has just been left by his lover and a suicidal young woman (Mireille Perrier) who is also reeling from a failed romance. He becomes obsessed with her from the first time he hears her voice over an apartment intercom. Eventually they meet in person and embark on an affair that has disastrous consequences. Visually reminiscent of early French New Wave films and beautifully shot in black and white by Jean-Yves Escoffier (Nurse Betty Good Will Hunting) the film features some of the most striking night scenes of Paris. Night Is Young (aka. Mauvais Sang) (1986): Leos Carax's (Pola X Lovers on the Bridge) second film confirmed his status as one of the most talented young French filmmakers of his generation. Set a few years before the 21st century Mauvais Sang (Bad Blood) tells the story of Alex (Dennis Lavant) the teen-age son of a murdered criminal who is enlisted by two former associates of his father to steal a valuable serum for an AIDS-like disease. Alex's mission becomes complicated when he begins to fall in love with one of the associates' young mistress (Juliette Binoche) and he becomes involved in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a rival gang woman known only as ""The American."" Pola X (1999): An Erotically Charged Descent Into Madness Based on Herman Melville's 1852 novel Pierre: or the Ambiguities filmmaker Leos Carax (Lovers on the Bridge Mauvais Sang) presents an ambitious tale of one man's search for the truth in a vague world. A young successful author (Depardieu) is haunted by a recurring dream of a woman obscured in darkness. After discovering the identity of this mysterious figure he finds his life spiraling downward into a world of lies ambiguities and masquerades.
