Taxi Driver titles

Director: Martin Scorcese Writer: Paul Schrader Cinematography: Michael Chapman Title Design: Dan Perri Music: Bernard Herrmann Starring: Rober De Niro From Paul Schrader (contains spoiler): This process that Marty uses was called Chemtone at the time and he uses it here at the very beginning and then uses it again for the very last shot and that was intended to show that the film was a loop and that it ends where it began and the whole thing is going to sort of going to happen again... People have asked me “what happens at the end?“ I said “well what happens at the end happens at the beginning — only the next time around I don’t think Travis will be so lucky...“ A few people have asked what the font is that they used for the titles. I have no idea and as a graphic designer I’ve always loved it but am afraid that there may be no digital version. A famous title designer called Dan Perri created the title design.
