Taxi Driver

A Vietnam War survivor, Travis Bickle roams the streets of New York behind the wheel of his taxi. Exposed to constant violence, he gradually loses his grip on reality and takes on the role of a vigilante. Awarded the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Taxi Driver depicts a descent into hell, with a moral ambiguity that has continuously fueled controversy. Robert De Niro’s unforgettable portrayal of this angel of death reflects the alienation of a society fed the illusion of the American Dream and ruled by madmen.
