The counter-culture classic that defined a generation of movies is back and better than ever as Taxi Driver Special Edition arrives on DVD on 13th August 2007, courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Academy AwardÆ winner Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull, The Departed) directs an incredible cast led by Robert de Niro (Meet The Fockers, Goodfellas), alongside Harvey Keitel (Mean Streets, The Piano) and Jodie Foster (The Silence Of The Lambs, Contact). Taxi Driver follows a lonely and unstable Vietnam vet (De Niro) who sees New York City at its worst as he tackles his insomnia by spending his nights taxiing. A chance meeting with a teenage prostitute provides the catalyst for his terrifying final breakdown, however, as he takes his disgust out on the very mean streets that provide his living. Boasting exclusive new packaging and packed with never-before-seen extras, including an introduction by Martin Scorsese, two feature length commentaries and brand new documentaries and featurettes, Taxi Driver Special Edition is a glowing new version of one of the most important films ever made and an absolute must-have for fans of Scorsese and De Niro.
