Overview

Taxi Girl sets its sights on the raucous side of 1970s Italian comedy, following Marcella as she steps into her late father's taxi business. Instead of a routine job, Marcella finds each fare leads her into increasingly wild escapades involving sex and crime, all tinted with a cheeky, irreverent sense of humor. Not content with the traditional role, she concocts a plan to run a taxi service catering to her fellow streetwalkers, promising both safety and profit amid the chaos of city life. The film brims with character-driven slapstick, risqué situations, and the vibrant energy of Italian sex comedy at its peak.
