Rod Lurie on TAXI DRIVER

Bernard Herrmann's pulsating final score propels one of the great New York movies, which brilliantly captures a time and place that has largely disappeared. But the dark corners of Paul Schrader's disturbing screenplay are illuminated by Martin Scorsese's intensely affecting collaboration with star Robert De Niro in perhaps his greatest role. This lost the Best Picture Oscar to...Rocky.
