Taxi Driver: 40th Anniversary Cast Q&A (2016)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
This forty-one minute special was filmed at the Beacon Theatre for the 40th Anniversary screening of Martin Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER. Scorsese, actors Robert DeNiro, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel and Cybill Shepherd, writer Paul Schrader and cinematographer Michael Chapman are interviewed on the film.
If you're a fan of the movie then you'll obviously want to watch this as it's certainly very entertaining and it has some great stories being told. If you're a fan of the film you've probably heard many of the stories before but it was still great getting to see so many of the cast and crew in one place. We start off hearing from Schrader on why he wrote the film and from here he talks about Brian DePalma giving the screenplay to Scorsese. From here the actors talk about being cast in their roles and then we get stories about the score, the original release and other fun topics.
The only bad thing about this is that it doesn't run even longer but there's no question that fans will enjoy it.
