I can’t begin to imagine the terror that must come when you find yourself in the middle of a revolutionary uprising, yet this is the premise of A Taxi Driver as it tells the story of the titular driver after he picks up a journalist who asks to be taken to Gwanju, a town that has been blockaded by the military due to a student protest.

In many ways, the film’s marketing seems to imply an almost lighthearted/comical story, before diving straight into a much darker and emotionally hard-hitting world.

A Taxi Driver looks to be a film that will hit you in the heart.

A Taxi Driver is out on August 11th!
