1976 || 114 minutes || Rated R
Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle 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.
Martin Scorsese's ever prescient, violent masterpiece Taxi Driver would turned 50 this year. Come to Maiden Alley Cinema to see the film that the New York Times called "one of the most compelling portraits of a lunatic personality ... ever seen on film," describing its portrayal of Manhattan as "a thin cement lid over the entrance to hell, and the lid is full of cracks.”
ROGER EBERT: "Taxi Driver is a brilliant nightmare and like all nightmares it doesn’t tell us half of what we want to know."
The Paducah Film Society is Maiden Alley Cinema's own monthly movie club, screening classic, cult, and foreign films in western Kentucky. PFS is supported by Maiden Alley Cinema, WKMS, and local donors.
