A Work of Dark Art

My absolute favorite movie of all time. A true cinematic masterpiece. Everything about this film is perfection, from the moody atmosphere, to Bernard Hermann's score, to the acting. This a dark film about a man who is lost and slowly devolving into a ticking time bomb. DeNiro is a quiet revelation in this. There is not a dull moment in this film, and every scene builds to its climax. The final scene is haunting, and you realize that Travis is stuck in some sort of Hell for which he can not escape. Scorsese's best film, in my humble opinion.

A brutal classic that has never looked more beautiful

If you haven't seen "Taxi Driver" in a few years, seeing it on Blu-Ray will jolt you the way moviegoers back in 1976 must have been jolted when they first saw this. The stunning transfer presents this movie in all it's gritty, violent glory. I've seen this movie numerous times, but again, seeing it in this format brought out all those nuances of New York City that past transfers couldn't deliver...you'll feel like your walking those mean streets yourself. A must for serious fans of seventies American cinema.

A review from the future

May 8, 2015

I'm old enough to remember when Taxi Driver came out - but I never watched it. I don't know why. I finally decided it was time - it has been such an iconic movie - and I never quite know what the references to the movie are about. It was surprisingly still relevant. I was also expecting to be disappointed by the cinemagraphics and it was perfect - and by that I mean - I wasn't distracted by cheesy props or obvious old technology. For as raw and simple as this movie is - it is not simple at all. Robert De Niro - looks so achingly young and plays the "hero" - a burned out vet driving a taxi. I couldn't understand why he royally screwed up his date with the woman of his dreams - but it helped to make it clear just how screwed up in the head his character was. Jodi Foster was heartbreakingly young and I kept thinking about my daughters or myself at that age - and how horrible it was that she was so street savvy and so young. But both of their performances were just stellar - absolutely sucked you in and made you believe in them. If I had watched this then - the message may not have been as clear to me - as it is now. One take away for me - is that this is not such an unlikely scenario for our psychologically wounded vets. We have so many out there - at this point in time - "they" are saying the average number of veteran suicide a day is 22. 22!!! Watching De Niro's performance was like looking inside the head of one these soldiers - you got that he just didn't care about anything any longer - and it was obvious that no one cared about him. I am a veteran myself - and have some of my own fears. I am completely against wars - because they are nothing more than a racket - making money money for civilians and killing young idealistic people - all for the sake of power. This movie solidified those thoughts for me. Overall I enjoyed it - but it was definitely dark and dreary and should only be watched when your own internal system is well enough to handle this kind of misery.

A fan of taxi driver couldn’t ask for more from this 40th anniversary edition.

February 25, 2018

What can be said about taxi driver that hasn’t been said before? A dark, gritty, and unflinching look at New York in the 70s and into the Dark side of humanity and the inner workings of the lost mind. Basically Paul Schrader exercising his demons that most people will find disturbingly relatable, though few would admit to having this person inside them...well we all do, it’s just that some can’t stare the beast down & instead let it take over.

Aside from all that armchair critic stuff this Blu-ray is particularly good, it’s the best I’ve ever seen this film look with with a nice clean transfer without too much artificial noise reduction, the grain structure is still there so it looks like the “gritty” movie you remember, as it should.
the extras package, spread out over two discs, is more than any fan could realistically ask for, and since it’s currently available for less than $10 it’s a steal.

Highly recommended for anybody who is a fan of 70s filmmaking and isn’t afraid to look at the dark-side of human nature.

One of Scorsese's Best

November 24, 2017

Taxi Driver (1976) is a film that often appears on lists of the top 100 films of all time. Perhaps that may be true, but I give pause. I think Taxi Driver is a very good film, but a tad overrated. I was expecting a little more in terms of plot twists and suspense, but it never went there. Still, this is one fine film by acclaimed director Martin Scorsese. I like Scorsese because he doesn't hold back; he doesn't play it safe when trying to tell a story. Some directors keep things light, but Scorsese goes for the gusto, and that triggers the emotional element that's so prevalent in his films. The cast of this film was on top of their game, and even newcomer Jodie Foster is believable in her role as a troubled teen. This blu ray set will keep you entertained for hours, with some nice special features. The picture and sound quality are first-rate for a film that's over 40 years old, so the cleanup job was a successful one. I recommend this iconic film from the cynical 70's as one that should be in your blu ray collection.
