Taxi Driver
(Usa 1976, 113’, Hd, col., o.v. it. s/t)
New York: Travis Bickle, a discharged Vietnam veteran, suffers from insomnia and decides to spend his nights as a taxi driver. Completely alienated, albeit an idealist in search of motivation, the man will fall for a girl and ask her to date him. When matters between them go wrong, a definitely disillusioned Travis retreats within himself.
