Review: So much has been written and talked about the taxi driver who seems almost superfluous to add something more. But look at it again the other night for the umpteenth time that I have, as I have every time I saw him, and struck by how perfect this film. And 'powerful and violent as it was 25 years ago. Is not not only aged, becomes every year more and better important. This is without doubt a modern classic, and one of the few truly great, movies.Scorsese timeless and Schrader went on to make other films after this, either separately (King Of Comedy, Light Sleeper) and (Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ), but this is Easily the best film of their work. And Robert De Iros too. He still has his performance here amazing detail and disturbed Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle isolation, and taxi driver would be murderess. This behavior is not surprising is entered film legend. De Niro and Scorsese environment notch supporting cast, including a small role but Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs), Peter Boyle (Hardcore), Victor Argo underestimated (King of New York) and Joe Spinell (Maniac). Albert Brooks and Jodie Foster also very good, and also Cybil Shepherd, the butt of many jokes, is as good as Bickles obsession. When you combine these actors, Schraders excellent screenplay and direction Scorseses brilliant and wonderful cinematography (Michael Chapman) and a haunting score (md Hitchcock Bernard Hermanns last effort), you yourself unforgettable cinematic experience. If you have not seen Taxi Driver urge you to do so immediately. It 'a masterpiece, pure and simple. |
