Ordering Information
SUBWAY RIDERS is a chilling melodrama of angst, alienation
and obsession. Poe and his Director of Photography (and producer)
Johanna Heer use color (lurid reds and neon blues) symbolically
and odd camera angles subtly underscore the premise that the characters
are not simply bizarros alienated from society, but rather that
anomie is the definitive characteristic of the modern world itself...
SUBWAY RIDERS' music does not merely accompany the film, but occupies
its own aural space and so adds its own distinct perspective to
this highly stylized, richly textured portrait of a world of random
murders.
