Taxi Driver

Original US Press Still for the classic 1976 Martin Scorsese New York City crime murder drama - "On every street in every city in this country there's a nobody who dreams of being a somebody". A film that would prove to be the turning point in the careers of director Martin Scorsese, screenwriter Paul Schrader, and actors Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster, and one that has only gained significance with the passage of time. Exhibiting elements of both American experimental filmmaking and vanguard European narrative, and a perfect example of American neo-noir, drawing influences from Bresson, Antonioni, Godard, Hitchcock, Lang, and Malle. Nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture. Set in and shot on location in New York City.
