- Synopsis:
- "Taxi Driver" provoked fierce controversy when it was released, running into censorship problems in America as some of the scenes of violence were described to be "as gory as Clockwork Orange and Straw Dogs". In addition there was an outcry at a 13-year-old schoolgirl actress (Jodie Foster) co-starring as a prostitute. It won Best Picture at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival and received Academy Award Nominations for Best Film, Best Actor (Robert de Niro) and Best Supporting Actress (Foster).

De Niro Disturbs - Taxi Driver review by NC
Often copied. Seldom matched. Young Niro is very disturbed guy who becomes a violent/manic/hero. Only in America!!

Are You Talking to Me? - Taxi Driver review by griggs
Taxi Driver grabs you by the collar and drags you through a neon-lit hellscape of insomnia, alienation, and urban rot. De Niro’s Travis Bickle is both a ticking time bomb and a mirror held up to a sick society—equal parts pathetic and petrifying. Scorsese directs like a man possessed, making every frame drip with menace and madness. The city breathes, festers, and pulses with threat. And Bernard Herrrman’s final score? A sleazy lullaby for the damned. It’s not just a descent into darkness—it’s a guided tour. You come out changed. Or at least, you should be worried if you don’t.
