Taxi Driver (1976)

Join the Drexel every Monday night this February for “Scorsese: Absolute Cinema,” a program dedicated to the greatest living American filmmaker.

TAXI DRIVER: Robert De Niro is Travis Bickle, an anxious, bitter, lonely man who drifts through the neon-soaked nightmare that was New York City in the 1970s. Bickle’s insomnia leads to him getting a taxi driving job at night. His paranoia and isolation only grow as he witnesses the decadence and cruelty of the nighttime class, while his obsession with a young campaign worker (Cybill Shepherd) and underage prostitute (Jodie Foster) sends him further into the void, culminating in a violent, inevitable climax. De Niro and Foster were nominated for Oscars for their portrayals of fringe dwellers searching for a shred of humanity in the filthy Big Apple. Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Albert Brooks, and Leonard Harris co-star.
