Taxi Driver

Previously unseen photographs from Scorsese’s masterpiece Taxi Driver has long been regarded as a cinematic milestone, and Robert DeNiro’s portrait of a trigger-happy psychopath with a mohawk is widely believed to be one of the greatest performances ever filmed. Time magazine includes the film in its list of 100 Greatest Movies, saying: "The power of Scorsese’s filmmaking grows ever more punishing with the passage of time."

Steve Schapiro — whose photographs were featured in TASCHEN’s Godfather Family Album — was the special photographer on the set of Taxi Driver, capturing the film’s most intense and violent moments from behind the scenes. This book — more than a film still book but a pure photo book on its own — features hundreds of unseen images selected from Schapiro’s archives, painting a chilling portrait of a deranged gunman in the angry climate of the post-Vietnam era.

With a foreword by Martin Scorsese!
