Taxi Driver (VHS, 1999)

Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

Martin Scorsese's intense film, a hallmark of 1970s filmmaking, graphically depicts the tragic consequences of urban alienation when a New York City taxi driver goes on a murderous rampage against the pitiable denizens inhabiting the city's underbelly. For psychotic, pistol-packing Vietnam vet Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), New York City seems like a circle of hell. Driving his cab each night through the bleak Manhattan streets, Bickle observes with fanatical loathing the sleazy lowlifes who comprise most of his fares. By day he haunts the porno theaters of 42nd Street, taking his cues from the violent vision of life portrayed in these movies. As badly as Travis wants to connect with the people around him--including Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), a lovely blonde campaign worker, and Iris (Jodie Foster), a prepubescent prostitute he tries to save--his attempts are thwarted and his pent-up rage grows, turning him into a Mohawk-wearing walking time bomb. Scorcese fills Paul Schrader's screenplay with a tragic realism, brilliantly capturing the muck and grime of New York City. De Niro, playing the fragile hero, steps so deep inside his role that the results are deeply frightening. Bernard Herrmann's haunting score--which turned out to be his last--completes the urban nightmare.

  • Classic Martin Scorsese Movie

    It is or was the 2nd film Martin Scorsese shot in Mew York and it's still just as much a classic as Mean Streets. It ahs Robert De Niro in an iconic role and Jodie Foster in a career-changing role. There is also a deconstruction on the Vigilante Man trope as well as perfect shots of N.Y. in all its glory. This movie doesn't skimp out on action scenes as there's plenty of them to go around. Well worth watching.
