Taxi Driver Collector's Edition

EW's GRADE
A+

Details Rated: R; Genres: Crime, Drama, Suspense; With: Robert De Niro

  Taxi Driver, Robert De Niro

The most Scorsesean of Martin Scorsese's films is this 1976 classic in which the director and screenwriter Paul Schrader loosed De Niro's Underground Man on a New York City made nightmarishly baroque by raw corruption and aching alienation. This digitally remastered edition includes a sharp behind-the-scenes documentary -- 20 minutes on the tape, 70 on disc -- that turns up tidbits ranging from Foster's tales of rehearsing with De Niro to the costume designer's scoop on the making of Travis Bickle's Mohawk.
