THE ASTOR REVIEW

Robert de Niro and Jodie Foster star in Martin Scorsese’s disturbing drama about the degradation of a man in the twilight of insanity. Scorcese’s portrait of urban decay and life on the street, according to our anti-hero De Niro, is uniquely dark and intriguing. Written by Paul Schrader. We are proud to present this landmark film projected in our new state-of-the-art 4K digital projection system. You’ve never seen nor heard Taxi Driver like this!

IMDB SYNOPSIS

Travis Bickle is an ex-Marine and Vietnam War veteran living in New York City. As he suffers from insomnia, he spends his time working as a cabbie at night, watching porn movies at seedy cinemas during the day, or thinking about how the world, New York in particular, has deteriorated into a cesspool. He's a loner who has strong opinions about what is right and wrong with mankind. For Travis, the one bright spot in New York humanity is Betsy, a worker on the presidential nomination campaign of Senator Charles Palatine. Travis becomes obsessed with Betsy. After an incident with Betsy, Travis believes he has to do whatever he needs to to make the world a better place in his opinion. One of his priorities is to be the savior for Iris, a twelve year old runaway and prostitute who he believes wants out of the profession and under the thumb of her pimp and lover Matthew.
