Taxi Driver

Groundbreaking drama of urban alienation from director Martin Scorsese and writer Paul Schrader. Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) works as a New York City taxi driver, and is consumed with disgust by the ‘filth’ which surrounds him. His explosive, psychotic loathing eventually drives him to make an attempt on the life of a politician, and when it fails he turns his attention to saving a prostitute (Jodie Foster) from the clutches of her pimp.

Critic Reviews:

• " The incredible cast includes Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Scorsese regular Harvey Keitel and a very young Jodie Foster. " – Tom Meek

• " A film of rare power and unique forcefulness. " – Jacoba Atlas
