Robert De Niro (born August 17, 1943 in Manhattan, New York) is an American actor, director and film producer. He began his career in the 1960s by collaborating with renowned directors, such as Brian De Palma and Martin Scorsese. De Niro has a rich filmography including major international hits, including Mean Streets (1973), The Godfather 2 (1974), Taxi Driver (1976), 1900 (1976), Journey to the End of Hell (1978), Raging Bull (1980), Waltz of the Puppets (1983), Once Upon a Time in America (1984), Brazil (1985), Mission (1986),.. with some films that have become "cult". Taxi Driver is a 1976 American neo-noir psychological drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader. Set in a morally decaying New York City following the Vietnam War, it stars Robert De Niro as veteran Marine and taxi driver Travis Bickle, whose mental state deteriorates as he works nights in the city. The film also features Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris and Albert Brooks (in his first feature film role). Theatrically released by Columbia Pictures on February 8, 1976, the film was critically and commercially successful despite generating controversy for both its graphic violence in the film's climax, and for the casting of 12-year-old Foster as a child prostitute. The film received numerous accolades, including the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival and four nominations at the 49th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (for De Niro) and Best Supporting Actress (for Foster). Although Taxi Driver generated further controversy for inspiring John Hinckley Jr.'s attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, the film has remained popular. It is considered one of the greatest films ever made, and one of the most culturally significant and inspirational of its time, garnering cult status. Shipping by la poste
