CFS Film Screening: Taxi Driver

Join Canterbury Film Society for our screening of Martin Scorsese's 1976 masterpiece Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese • 1976 • 109 mins • USA • R18).

"Thirty years old and endlessly imitated, Taxi Driver still packs a fearsome punch. Of all the psychos, sociopaths, and screw-ups that Robert De Niro has played for director Martin Scorsese, none is more iconic than Travis Bickle, the cuckoo cabbie on a self-appointed mission to wash the scum off the streets of New York. From the lush menace of Bernard Herrmann's score to Jodie Foster's performance as a twelve-year-old prostitute, it's a film that screams to be seen on the big screen." BBCi
