Easy Rider / Taxi Driver (Box set)

Film Description

Easy Rider (Dennis Hopper, 1969). Two dudes go in search of America and find bigotry, sadness and fabulous landscapes. This legendary road movie was one of the most stylish experiments of the New Hollywood era. Exhaustively chronicled in Biskind's "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls".

Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976). As a tale of modern alienation, Taxi Driver was something of a sordid masterpiece of its time. Scorsese captures the after-hours neon underworld of New York streets with a lush, sleazy poetry and turns the sewer into Art. A generation later, the film is dominated by its iconography: De Niro and the mirror, Jodie Foster, precocious in hot pants, and the yellow cab, gliding through steamy night streets to the soulful wailing of a sax.
