Yes, It's a Classic submitted by ekjensen on August 30, 2020, 9:03am This early Martin Scorsese film still remains a visual masterpiece of the times. Post Vietnam veteran who is isolated and working all night hours and awake still during the daylight hours drives the decadent, filthy, drug and overt sexual infestations of the streets of NYC in the 1970s. The early viewers of this film when it came out must have been slapped in the face several times on the problems of the day. The remarkable performances of Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster are those faces of the day.
