Taxi Driver (1976)
Released in 1976, Taxi Driver captured the disillusionment of post-Vietnam America and changed how cinema explored alienation, violence, and morality. It wasn’t just a film, it was a psychological portrait of a city and a man losing touch with both. The poster by Guy Pellaert transforms that tension into visual poetry: Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle isolated under harsh streetlights, New York glowing behind him in menace and melancholy.
Directed by Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull, Goodfellas), written by Paul Schrader, and scored by Bernard Herrmann in his haunting final composition, the film shocked audiences and became a defining moment of the New Hollywood era. De Niro’s “You talkin’ to me?” remains one of cinema’s most enduring lines, a mirror of modern rage.
An original release US one-sheet and one of the quintessential posters of the 1970s, it’s a benchmark of cultural cool, an artwork that still feels dangerously alive.
