Classic character study of a man who goes through a rabbit hole of madness.

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2020)

De Niro shines brightly as Travis Bickle and it's easy to see how the use of mental-narration became a Scorsese staple. The movie presents honest brutality that doesn't pull any punches and features some groundbreaking directing from Scorsese. The seemingly free form jazz score compliments Bickle's mental state and journey into violent madness. There's not one element of the film that isn't fine tuned or cleverly crafted, and the damning statement about society still hurts today.
