As the pandemic continues unabated, I continue my weekly recommendation of a movie set in New York.
Tonight's offering: Taxi Driver (1976)
A creepy cab driver develops creepy obsessions and acts generally creepy. Oh, and did I say that he's creepy?
Taxi Driver is one of those movies that I've known about forever but had never watched. Man, is it creepy. Or did I say that already? I was surprised by how small a role Jodie Foster had -- She's pivotal, but she has very little screen time. And the whole Cybil Shepherd storyline caught me by surprise. It's an intense movie that kept me rapt and left me breathless, but the ending seemed anticlimactic, and left me dissapointed.
