Taxi Driver
Herrmann mentioned in the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph
Herrmann mentioned in the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph:
The Telegraph writes:
Another revelation is Bernard Herrmann’s astonishing score: by turns jazzy, sad and menacing, and, like Taxi Driver itself, redolent of 1940s film noir. It’s no accident that the insomniac Travis, like many heroes of those earlier films, is a traumatised war veteran, weary of the degradation he sees everywhere.

The Guardian writes:
It was the great movie composer’s final score: a compelling mixture of sinuous jazz and a declamatory orchestral soundtrack, denoting as nothing else could a presentiment of catastrophe.
