TAXI DRIVER

Directed by Martin Scorcese

Come out for the final screening of the 2009 Monday Night Film Series, featuring Martin Scorcese's modern classic.  Robert DeNiro gives one of the finest performances of his early career as Travis Bickle, the misanthropic cabbie who slowly becomes unraveled by the disorder and corruption he perceives around him. Director Quentin Tarantino has called Taxi Driver " the greatest first-person character study ever committed to film."

Taxi Driver also features supporting performances by Jodie Foster (in her screen debut), Harvey Keitel, Albert Brooks, and Peter Boyle.
