Pressestimmen
"This acutely sensitive piece of psychological criticism is written in Taubin's typically elegant blend of empirical incisiveness and emotional empathy. Sight and Sound is the last word on Scorsese's powerhouse"--"Film Comment
Kurzbeschreibung
Taxi Driver is one of the major films of the 1970s, which established Martin Scorcese's reputation as a prominent American director. Robert de Niro plays Travis Bickle, Vietnam veteran and cab driver, who finally goes over the edge. This text is part of the "BFI Film Classics" series. Each volume in the series presents a personal commentary on the film, together with a brief production history and a detailed filmography, notes and bibliography.

One of the better BFI Film Classics
4. Oktober 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
With this entry in the BFI Film Classics collection, Amy Taubin has written a very well-researched, entertaining and informative examination of this indisputable American film classic. In addition, this book isn't too literate or hard to understand, as some of these type of film analyses can be. It is written clearly and with a great deal of detail. A must for any fan of this film, anyone interested in American cinema of the 70's, or fans of legendary director Martin Scorsese. Excellent!

Decent read, but worth the price
10. Dezember 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
So, I honestly love Amy Taubin. All her reviews I've read, and the essays she's done for Criterion Collection releases, and even her shared love for My Own Private Idaho sold me on buying this book.
I ended up coming away a bit dissapointed.
The book doesn't really shed anything new on the film. Almost everything she's discusses it mentioned by either Scorsese or Schrader on the old Criterion laserdisc commentary of this film.
There were only a couple of new ideas I gathered from this book. First, the heavy handed sexual themes. I always knew they were there, but not in the way she brings it up. The scene on the cover of the book, I never really put together in my head that he's trying to reinact a fantasy of killing people performing intercourse. Even the scene where he kills Keitel, he whips out his gun and says "Suck on this!". The sexual connotation never hit me.
The other thing this book shed light on was the parallel between cowboys and indians. She brings up many parallels to The Searchers and how Jodie Foster is the Natlaie Wood character, Sport is the indian dresses in beads and feathers, and Travis with his boots is the cowboy who thinks he'll save the day.
Aside from that, it offers nothing new. To those who lack a laserdisc player, I would suggest this book. You honestly can't beat the price.

Compelling
23. Januar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I thoroughly enjoyed this insightful little book, especially it's satisfying psychological portrait of Travis Bickle, "Taxi Driver's" disturbed and fascinating protaganist, deftly played by Robert De Niro. Amy Taubin is a gifted writer, whose acute sensitivity--perhaps a bit too acute regarding some of her comments about Bremmer--makes for an engrossing read. It's inconceivable to me that anyone who reads this work could put it down without a deeper appreciation of this seductive, volatile film.
