Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver 113 min | Crime, Drama | 1976 IMDB Score: 8,4/10 Considered one of the best films of all time, Taxi Driver by Martin Scorsese was nominated at the Oscars for Best Film, Best Actor (Robert de Niro), Best Supporting Actress (Jodie Foster) and Best Original Score (Bernard Herrmann). Lonely, unstable, and repressed, Travis Bickle (De Niro) becomes a cab driver when he returns from the Vietnam War. He works nights in Manhattan. The world around him is bubbling with life, but he can’t seem to connect with anyone. His relationship with Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), the pretty assistant to a New York senator, ends before it begins when he takes her to see a porno. He tries to free a 12-year-old hooker, Iris (Jodie Foster) from the bondage of her pimp Sport (Harvey Keitel), but does she want to be saved? Travis’s repressed anger and misplaced loyalty eventually degenerate in a climax of vindictive violence.
