Review of Taxi Driver (1976) by Paulm. — 20 Mar 2008
Mind blowing and brutally brilliant work.This is essentially the film that singlehandedly got me into films.After I saw this hard hitting, chillingly atmospheric and gripping masterpiece I was forced to re asses what a motion picture really is.
I had never seen anything that demanded and rewarded my attention in such a powerful and serious manner.Scorsese's direction is pure genius as is De Niro's psychotic and disturbing aura.The creepy score is immense in its feel and the evolotion of thought throughout is unrivalled.
Darkly compelling and definitive stuff. This is without doubt a landmark in film making, underlined by one of THE partnerships in cinema history 'De Niro and Scorsese'. As effectively strong as a picture can be.
