“After Hours approaches the notion of pure filmmaking; it’s a nearly flawless example of—itself. It lacks, as nearly as I can determine, a lesson or a message, and is content to show the hero facing a series of interlocking challenges to his safety and sanity.” —Roger Ebert, rogerebert.com
“After Hours is not, ultimately, a satisfying film, but it’s often vigorously unsettling…That should be read as praise.” —Vincent Canby, The New York Times
FACETS Film Trivia is back at 7pm on Thursday, May 30th with our classic brand of infotainment quiz show fun, followed up by a very special after-trivia screening of Martin Scorsese’s underrated 1985 comedy After Hours at 9pm.
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.
With this Kafkaesque cult classic, Martin Scorsese—abetted by Michael Ballhaus’s kinetic cinematography and scene-stealing supporting turns by Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O’Hara, and John Heard—directed a darkly comic tale of mistaken identity, turning the desolate night world of 1980s SoHo into a bohemian wonderland of surreal menace.
