A portrait of loneliness

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2005)

A unique film depicting a young mans incorrect path in life, pursuing a young lady, played by the delectable Cybil Sheppard, holding down a job, involving mopping cum from the back seat of his cab, and following a body of political worship.
Robert De Niro, cabbed for months to gain empathy with his character, plays Travis who does this whilst continuing his quiet quest for goodness.
The run of violence was required to have bled the red out of the image to make it less distasteful.
It is evidently a film that shaped Mr. De Niro, Mr. Scorcese and the film industry.
