Taxi Driver

Martin Scorsese's 1976 psychological thriller captures the decaying soul of post-Vietnam New York City. Robert De Niro delivers a haunting performance as Travis Bickle, an isolated veteran turned taxi driver whose mental state deteriorates as he navigates the city's underbelly. The film is a visceral, neon-soaked descent into madness, exploring themes of loneliness, vigilantism, and societal alienation. Its raw, uncompromising style and Bernard Herrmann's final, chilling score make it an essential piece of American cinema that feels disturbingly relevant in today's urban landscape.
