Join MOCA for Third Wednesday Museum Nights for an evening of inspiring film as they present monthly screenings connected to the themes and ideas of our exhibitions and current events. This month, one of the all time greatest films made : Taxi Driver! Taxi Driver is our featured film in connection to the exhibition A Walk on the Wild Side: ‘70s New York in the Norman E. Fisher Collection at MOCA
Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) takes a job as a New York City cabbie, haunting the streets nightly, growing increasingly detached from reality as he dreams of cleaning up the filthy city. When Travis meets pretty campaign worker Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), he becomes obsessed with the idea of saving the world, first plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate, then directing his attentions toward rescuing 12-year-old prostitute Iris (Jodie Foster).
