KINO Rotterdam

Taxi Driver (1976) returns to KINO for its 50th anniversary. Scorsese and Schrader’s decade defining masterpiece on male loneliness and its seemingly inevitable violence seems more relevant than ever, half a century later. De Niro’s Travis Bickle is the embodiment of the InCel stuck on the outside looking in, convinced his purifying punishment will right all wrongs. With a stunning supporting cast featuring Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Cybill Shepherd, Albert Brooks and Peter Boyle, and the melancholic score from legendary composer Bernard Harrmann, Taxi Driver remains a flawless film if there ever was one.
