What if that date you thought would never end didn’t? Desperate to escape his mind-numbing routine, uptown Manhattan office worker Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) ventures downtown for a hookup with a mystery woman (Rosanna Arquette). So begins the wildest night of his life, as bizarre occurrences — involving underground-art punks, a distressed waitress, a crazed Mister Softee truck driver, and a bagel-and-cream-cheese paperweight — pile up with anxiety-inducing relentlessness and thwart his attempts to get home.
“After Hours is dazzling movie making”
—Sheila Benson, LA Times
An often overlooked Scorsese classic, After Hours (1985) was both critically acclaimed and won several accolades, including Best Director at Cannes Film Festival and Best Director and Best Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards.
