Martin Scorsese's "After Hours" - LPH020

Monday, June 7, 2021 • Duration 01:14:13

This week Marcus and Maria examine Martin Scorsese's frequently overlooked absurdist black comedy, After Hours (1985).

When corporate "word processor" Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) meets the mysterious, fickle Marcy (Rosanna Arquette,) he accepts an offer of a late-night rendezvous in downtown Manhattan. But when Paul begins to have second thoughts and tries to return home, he finds himself trapped in a surreal nightmare.

Marcus and Maria go behind the scenes to explore the film's origins, its themes of paranoia and emasculation, and where After Hours fits in beside Scorsese's other work.
