Director: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette
My Rating: Loved It!
I have yet to see every Scorsese film, but After Hours is indubitably the strangest film he's ever made. It's like taking every thing that could go wrong to a person living in a huge city and putting them one after another in the span of one night. In doing so, the movie has this strange, almost verging on unsettling, feel to it.
Just like he always does, Scorsese does well with filming the material, but the winner here is the script. The mishaps and unfortunate events are woven expertly together to create a very tightly concealed package. It's actually kind of incredible how everything is interconnected. A lot of moments in this film will leave you scratching your head, but just remember it's supposed to be surreal. I feel as if this film has been lost in the shuffle over time, but it's absolutely one of Scorsese's more interesting movies.
