Footage of this city is combined with the filmmaker reading out letters sent from her mother in Chantal Akerman’s film News from Home. A shot pans away from a man talking to a woman on a pay-phone to an empty corridor in a film set in this city for which Bernard Herrmann wrote his last completed film score. A film set in this city contains a chase scene in which a narcotics detective tries to catch a criminal on a speeding elevated train and which includes accidental collisions. A man in this city who wants to “wash all this scum off the streets” upsets a woman by taking her on a date to a porn theater, and later prepares for an attempted assassination by giving the “you talkin’ to me” speech. For 10 points, name this city, the setting of The French Connection and Taxi Driver. ■END■
