What drives a lonely mind toward violence? And how does a film capture that descent so powerfully that it still echoes through culture decades later? Let's have a smart and fascinating Watch & Talk session hosted by Leon, a psychologist and movie-lover, as we explore key scenes from the classic film Taxi Driver. With young Robert De Niro’s groundbreaking, career-defining performance at its centre, this film has become one of the most important works in modern cinema, quoted, referenced, and studied endlessly for its raw psychological depth and cultural impact.
Together, we’ll look at how Taxi Driver portrays the inner world of a man with anti-social tendencies, slowly drifting into isolation and darkness. Leon will guide the discussion through the psychological layers of Travis Bickle’s behaviour—what pushes him, what distorts him, and what makes his story both disturbing and strangely relatable. Let's dive into cinema, psychology, and culture all at once, while reflecting on why this film still grips audiences around the world.
Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs, watch scenes from one of the most influential, important and deep films ever to come out of Hollywood, and, of course, let's have a great discussion about our mutual cinematic journey!
