    Philip Glass: Taxi Driver

    This (trailed by Clemmie on Breakfast this morning) could be interesting.

    This sounds very similar to Scorsese's magnificent film, "Taxi Driver", made in the same period. And, of course, Bernard Herrmann's unforgettable score.

      A film which Glass says he avoided like the plague.

        Does that mean that nobody talks to him?

          IIRC, Herbie Hancock either composed or performed the music for Taxi Driver. Or both.

            Errr ... I don't think so, S_A: the last film score of Bernard Herrmann is how I understood it.

                    Possibly I was mixing up this film with the early 1980s US TV series Taxi, with its period-evoking Bob James theme:
