## Description

Winner of the prestigious Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival (1976) and nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture (1976), TAXI DRIVER stars Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's classic film of a psychotic New York cabbie driven to violence by loneliness and desperation. Co-starring Jodie Foster, Albert Brooks, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle and Cybill Shepherd.

Review: "I'm God's lonely man." - 'Taxi Driver' is a 1976 release starring Robert de Niro as the film's anti hero Travis Bickle. Bickle is a Vietnam War veteran who returns to New York and becomes disgusted with the moral decay of the city. In order to distract himself and overcome his insomnia, he takes a job as a night-shift taxi driver and visits adult movie theatres. Later he spies an 'angel' named Betsy (Cybill Shepherd) and becomes besotted with her. After taking her to see an adult movie, she is disgusted and rejects him. Bickle is devastated by the rejection and from this point on his life starts to unravel. He begins to harbour violent thoughts that need to find an outlet. He eventually finds a target for his anger: Matthew 'Sport' Higgins (Harvey Keitel) who pimps out young girls, including a 12-year-old Iris Steensma (Jodie Foster). Bickle takes pity on Iris and promises to return her to her family and a better life in Pittsburgh. The stage is set for a violent finale and very violent it is. 'Taxi Driver' was directed by Martin Scorsese. One of the themes running through his considerable body of work is the presence of good and evil vying for supremacy in the soul of one man. This theme would find its greatest expression in Scorsese's movie adaption of Nikos Kazantzakis' book 'The Last Temptation of Christ' in which the soul of Jesus is the arena where spirit and flesh do battle. In 'Taxi Driver' it is Travis Bickle who plays the role of 'Jesus', an avenging angel who wants to rescue sweet Iris from her evil pimp 'Sport'. If this has to be done with guns and knives, then so be it. There is irony running through this movie and it is no coincidence that Scorsese was a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock, who used irony to great effect in his films. Incidentally, the moody score to 'Taxi Driver' was composed by Bernard Herrmann who had scored seven films for Hitchcock, including 'Vertigo' (1958) and 'Psycho' (1960). Sadly, Herrmann passed away on December 24, 1975, in his hotel in Los Angeles the day after completing the 'Taxi Driver' soundtrack. This is definitely an iconic 70s movie and de Niro's portrayal of a man on the edge won him an Oscar nomination. (He lost out to Peter Finch who won Best Actor for 'Network'.) Definitely not to be missed.
Review: Classic. - Great film! I haven't seen it on TV for a long time so I decided to get it on DVD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great DVD release for a Great Film!

Taxi Driver is one my favorite films of all time. I love 70's films like Apocalypse Now, Clockwork Orange, Get Carter, Godfather and others that broke new grounds in filmmaking in general. It's my favorite era of film-making next to Classic Hollywood and the 80's. Taxi Driver is very effective portrayal of New York, loneliness, violence and does it so well that no film afterwards has managed to capture it. Every single aspect of the film works. The performance by Robert De Niro has become an iconic. The direction by Martin Scorsese is very stylish and gives Taxi Driver a unforgettable look. The music by Alfred Hitchcock's composer Bernard Herrmann (Psycho, Vertigo) gives the film another level of atmosphere and mood. There are great supporting cast that includes Jodie Foster, Albert Brooks, Harvey Keitel, Cybill Shepherd and Peter Boyle. While Taxi Driver is mostly De Niro's show, these actors give very good supporting performances. There is no real point talking about the plot of this film because most of you have heard about it in one way or another. It's an iconic film with iconic performance and iconic scenes that influenced modern pop-culture. It's a true masterpiece. This DVD is a 2 Disc set with great amount of extra features. Picture quality is superb as is the sound quality. There are also stills from the movie which are quite nice. Extra Feature: *Commentary track by writer Paul Schrader *Commentary track by Professor Robert Kolker *Original Screenplay *Interview with Martin Scorsese *Making Taxi Driver - 70 min long making of documentary *Travis New York - Interview with 1970's New York mayor *Travis New York Locations - Films location comparison now and then *Introduction to Storyboards by Martin Scorsese *Storyboard to Film Comparison *Animated Photo Galleries *Scorsese at Work - Photo Montage *God's Lonely Man - interview with screenwriter *Influence and Appreciation: Martin Scorsese Tribute - Oliver Stone, Robert De Niro and others talk about Scorsese *Taxi Driver Stories - Real life taxi drivers tell real life stories *Producing Taxi Driver - Interview with producer. *************************************************************************************************************************** This DVD is a must have for any collection. It's very well put together. There are a lot of extra content that cover every angle of the process of making Taxi Driver. If you are a fan of cinema you should get this one without a second doubt.
