Taxi Driver
Aug 05 - Aug 11, 2011
(Martin Scorsese, 1976, USA, 35mm, 113 min)
New 35mm print!
One of the greatest collaborations of the 1970s was Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, a film that alchemized Paul Schrader’s script, Michael Chapman’s cinematography, Bernard Herrmann’s music and Robert De Niro’s totally credible Travis Bickle. Scorsese’s searing images bubble up out of the streets of Manhattan, with violence waiting to be unleashed when you least expect it.
New York never looked so good, or so bad as in Taxi Driver, a post-Vietnam film that's as subversive as any noir of the '40s regarding the American dream. With memorable supporting performances from Jodie Foster, Albert Brooks, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, and Cybill Shepherd, Taxi Driver looks as good on the big screen for its 35th anniversary as when it was originally released!
“New York may have changed, but Taxi Driver is as powerful and painful as ever.” —Time Out
