Taxi Driver - (Scorsese;1976;USA) - ****
A taxi driver's built up aggression against the filth of society, as well as his own social problems cause him to lash out.
One of the most important films ever, and for me, I now consider this Scorsese's greatest achievement. Everything about the story is gritty and true. Every frame is genius. Bernard Herrmann's score is excellent, and coincides perfectly with the protagonist. Scorsese's direction is visually and emotionally top notch. DeNiro's performance is one of his best, just behind Raging Bull.
