“On every street in every city in this country, there's a nobody who dreams of being somebody. He's a lonely forgotten man desperate to prove that he's alive.”

CrimeDrama

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.

VIBE

A descent into the grimy, neon-lit underbelly of 1970s New York, this film is a deeply unsettling character study. It feels like a slow, suffocating burn of urban alienation and psychological unraveling, leaving you with a sense of profound unease and the chilling weight of a fractured mind observing a decaying world.
