White Wall Cinema: TAXI DRIVER
MARTIN SCORSESE’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY NEW 4K REMASTER
February 4 @ 7:15 pm – 10:30 pm
One of the cornerstones of modern cinema, we celebrate a true masterpiece with a special 50th anniversary screening of the newly remastered 4K of Taxi Driver. In a career filled with iconic films, including Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon -Taxi Driver stands out as arguably Martin Scorsese’s most influential and searingly powerful work, a film that single-handedly turned the landscape of cinema on its head.
The signature role of perhaps the greatest screen actor of his generation, Robert De Niro stars as Travis Bickle, a disturbed loner who takes a job driving a cab on the graveyard shift in New York. Confronted daily by the urban decay and perceived sleaze of the city at night, Travis gradually detaches from reality, cultivating a dark desire for violence and retribution. The film also features a remarkable performance from a then-12-year-old Jodie Foster, alongside an equally intense and unsettling turn from Harvey Keitel, at the height of his powers, as her manipulative pimp.
A defining masterpiece of American cinema, Taxi Driver remains just as powerful, and perhaps even more relevant, 50 years after its initial release. This collaboration between arguably the greatest actor/director duo in film history, Scorsese and De Niro, presents the definitive portrait of a man on the edge, offering profound insight into one of today’s most pervasive societal issues: the damaged and alienated male psyche. Brimming with emotional depth, political complexity, and some of the most daring technical filmmaking in all of cinema, seeing this on the big screen is an experience YOU cannot miss. And yes… I’m talking to YOU.
