Schrader wrote Taxi Driver, and his own films keep returning to the same man: lonely, disciplined, keeping a journal, heading toward violence or grace. In First Reformed, a pastor of a small church in upstate New York is shaken by an environmental activist. The Card Counter has a gambler and former soldier try to steer a young man away from revenge. Mishima tells the life of the Japanese author through three of his novels.
