Advertisement
Open the Cult Vault as retrospective gems return to Palace with a weekly film series highlighting classic, cult, and boundary-pushing cinema!
Presented via a curated program, prepare to see all the most spectacular and timeless films spanning genres from classic dramas, comedies, thrillers, beloved anime, horrors & more every week (dates differ across states).
You talkin’ to me?
Returning to cinemas to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Academy Award winning cinema auteur Martin Scorsese’s critically acclaimed neo-noir psychological thriller TAXI DRIVER.
Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle (De Niro) takes a job as a New York City cabbie, haunting the streets nightly, growing increasingly detached from reality as he dreams of cleaning up the filthy city. When Travis meets pretty campaign worker Betsy (Shepherd), he becomes obsessed with the idea of saving the world, first plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate, then directing his attentions toward rescuing 12-year-old prostitute Iris (Foster).
Featuring career-defining performances from lead cast members, two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, three-time Golden Globe winner Cybill Shepherd and two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster, TAXI DRIVER brilliantly explores the dangers and complexities of loneliness, providing a warning to all of us on what can occur if we push people to the edges of society.
