New Hollywood

Taxi Driver

1h 53m

Directed by Martin Scorsese • 1976 • United States
Starring Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Albert Brooks

Scripted by Paul Schrader and directed by Martin Scorsese, TAXI DRIVER is a powerful study of a dangerously fractured psyche, as well as a vividly grimy portrait of New York City in the 1970s. Robert De Niro gives one of his most riveting performances as Travis Bickle, a Vietnam vet turned cabbie whose resentments and messianic delusions drive him to take to up arms in a berserk moral crusade against the corruption he sees all around him.
