Taxi Driver (1976)
Directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader, Taxi Driver sees lonely Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) stave off his chronic insomnia by taking a job as taxi driver on the mean streets of New York City. A Masterpiece of North American cinema that defined Scorsese, De Niro as cinema titans and placed New York City as the epicentre of the thriller genre.
When he's not on the road, he's either checking out X-rated cinemas or spying on political volunteer Betsy (Cybill Shepard). His already unstable mental condition begins to gradually deteriorate as he starts to buff up, get a mohawk, stockpile guns and talk to himself in the mirror. His violent plans soon become mixed up in his new friendship with teenage sex worker Iris (Jodie Foster) and madness ensues.Crime CultPT1H54MR18+Jodie Foster
