Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle takes a job as a New York City cabbie, haunting the streets nightly, growing increasingly detached from reality as he dreams of cleaning up the filthy city.
Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times): “A brilliant nightmare—one of the most powerful and unsettling films ever made.”
Peter Travers (Rolling Stone): “A landmark of American cinema—ferocious, fearless, and unforgettable.”
Screening Note:
Immediately following the screening of Taxi Driver will be the documentary American Boy: A Portrait of Steven Prince (1978, 55 minutes)—Martin Scorsese’s, darkly riveting portrait of Steven Prince, whose monologues helped inspire the character of Travis Bickle.
