What happens to a person when isolation slowly turns into obsession? How does loneliness distort the way we see morality, society, and ourselves? In this Watch & Talk session, we’ll dive into scenes from Taxi Driver, widely considered one of the most important and psychologically intense films ever made, and explore its haunting themes of alienation, madness, violence, and moral decay. Why has this film remained so powerful for nearly fifty years? And why does its vision of loneliness still feel disturbingly modern today?

But the discussion won’t stop with cinema. We’ll also trace the film’s deeper philosophical roots back to Fyodor Dostoevsky, one of the most influential writers in modern history, whose explorations of guilt, isolation, inner conflict, and fractured morality inspired generations of filmmakers and thinkers. Together, we’ll unpack the connections between literature, psychology, and film, asking what these stories reveal about the darker corners of the human mind and society itself. Whether you know Taxi Driver and Dostoevsky deeply or are discovering them for the first time, this will be a smart, cultured, and deeply engaging conversation.

So let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs, watch scenes from one of the most important and studied films of all time, discuss one of the most influential writers in the world, and let's think deep, laugh hard (for the dark ones out there), and truly connect along the way!
