Taxi Driver
Author: Amy Taubin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1838718451
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Paul Schrader was in meltdown in 1972. Drinking heavily, living in his car, he was hospitalised with a gastric ulcer. There he read about Arthur Bremer's attempt to assassinate Alabama Governor George Wallace: the story was the germ of his screenplay for Taxi Driver (1976). Executives at Columbia hated the script, but when Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, who were flying high after the triumphs of Mean Streets (1973) and The Godfather Part II (1974), signed up, Taxi Driver became too good a package to refuse. Scorsese transformed the script into what is now considered one of the two or three definitive films of the 1970s. De Niro is mesmerising as Travis Bickle – pent-up, bigoted, steadily slipping into psychosis, the personification of American masculinity post-Vietnam. Cybill Shepherd and Jodie Foster give fine support and Scorsese brought in Bernard Herrmann, the greatest of film composers, to write what turned out to be his last score. Crucially, Scorsese rooted Taxi Driver in its New York locations, tuning the film's violence into the hard reality of the city. Technically thrilling though it is, Taxi Driver is profoundly disturbing – finding, as Amy Taubin shows, racism, misogyny and gun fetishism at the heart of American culture. In her foreword to this special edition, published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the BFI Film Classics series, Amy Taubin considers Taxi Driver anew in the context of contemporary politics of race and masculinity in the US, and draws on an exclusive interview with Robert De Niro about his memories of making the film.

Giger's multi-faceted career: From surrealistic dream landscapes, to album cover designs, and sculpture For the last three decades H.R. Giger has reigned as one of the leading exponents of fantastic art.

"The more famous I get, the more I am tolerated, albeit with some head-shaking." --H.R. Giger About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art Series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 colour illustrations with explanatory captions

Publisher: Kerber Verlag
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Not just anyone gets to be the subject of a Taschen book, and British filmmakers Oliver Payne and Nick Relph are no exception. This is not a Taschen book. But in keeping with the carefree, phantasmagorical attitude that pulsates through their cinematic essays, Payne and Relph have decided to title their book Taschen, thereby adding a Taschen book to their bibliography without actually having to fit the publishing company's profile. Their videos and films reflect the zeitgeist of a young, urban generation, a world in which teenage garage bands bang away, kids grope each other in the subway, and too many people wear those awful masks from Scream. It's not an ironic point of view; as the artists exclaim in gold lettering on the front cover: We don't have the option of turning away from the future.
