Martin Scorsese referenced Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment here, especially Raskolnikov being a blueprint for Travis Bickle—who both have similar inner turmoil and rationalization for their actions—and Sonia as inspiration for Iris.
Said yo after realizing that Gaspar Noé paid homage to Taxi Driver's slow-motion, overhead, god's eye, after-killing sequence in his acid trip of a movie that is Enter the Void.
And that rear view shot of Betsy in the cab was tasty.
Taxi Driver came to me at the perfect moment.
Fucking cinema, man.
