I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2025 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 7: A MOVIE FROM 1985
Review: Ironclad black comedy, one of Martine Scorsese’s lesser know films. We meet
Paul, an office clerk, who rolls from one bizarre adventure into another, when
he decides to drive to Soho to visit a girl he just met at a coffee shop.
“After Hours” is a rather
atypical Scorsese, in which you are drawn into an alienating and at times even
surreal nightmare. Laced with dark humor and a kind of hilarious absurdity,
which really makes it a unique mix, especially compared to the rest of Scorsese’s
oeuvre.
One crazy character and
absurd situation follows another, and the night increasingly degenerates into a
nightmare you can’t wake up from. I didn’t know this film before I watched it,
but I’m glad I did. I had a good time.
