love this movie too...its surreal and realistic at the same time...to the extreme...artistically
The writer is a true auteur, one of our very best - the great Joe Minion. Underline
"Artist" when ye speak to anything Joseph Minion. Takes great pride in his craft.
Has worked ENDLESSLY at it (Finding Joe's Voice).
@@josephkelley8641 I love Minions their so cute n funny
We've all been HIM. Where everything goes wrong and you're a good person and you're just wondering, "WHY GODDAMN IT! WHY?" That is this universal story, right here. After Hours, one of my absolute favorite films.
I remember that NYC. When a movie like that could be believable in a pre Iphone world when Soho wasn’t a shopping mall and NYC didn’t exist for tourists. I miss that NYC. NYC lost its soul.
Said that to myself walking down 2nd Ave last night. too docile for my liking
Scorsese is the most underrated comedy director of all time.
This is my favorite Scorsese film... I love Taxi Driver don’t get me wrong.... but I don’t like many comedies... After Hours is my kind of comedy. Great video! Thank you!! More people need to see this film, maybe in the coming years it will become a well known classic amongst Scorsese’s filmography.
Not a comedy as such. More 'black-comedy' or 'dark-comedy'.
@@MikeWhiskyTangoThat would still be comedy.
It’s a perfect film to stumble on whilst flicking through the channels in the early hours after getting home drunk. Another good one is ‘motorama’.
I watched the movie because of The Weeknd. and honestly I love the movie I must re watch it...
Same man. What a great film to be recommended by such a great artist.
I've always loved this film. Just watched it again last night after not having seen it in many years. So great.
I can see after hours being a Tim Burton film. It definitely has some of the themes as a Burton film. But Martin Scorsese needed to make a film like after hours. It gave him his love of filmmaking back. But it all worked out for Burton.
this movie hardly feels like a comedy lol. it seems like a psychological thriller
I agree with you. Perhaps the comedy is more in terms of how absurd the human species can behave at times.
This and Bringing Out the Dead are my two favourite lesser known Scorsese films.
It's always been one of my favorites. I lived in the city for a few years back in the late 80's early 90's, and the Soho area really was like that! Some really, "odd" people living there. :)
"You know people like that hard to deal with."
" That's what friends are for."
I loved this movie. I saw it during its original theater release. The performances are great and it still holds up.
I cannot translate how madly besotted with Rosanna Arquette I have been since the day I saw this movie. ❤❤❤❤❤
Criminally underrated video about a criminally underrated movie!
The producers Griffin Dunne and Amy Robinson actually brought Michael Ballhaus to Scorsese for this film. Scorcese says he was used to completing five or six set-ups a day. With Ballhaus, he managed sixteen set-ups a day. This was due not only to Ballhaus and his speed, but also to new camera lenses and faster film stocks.
My father showed me this when I was like 12, I'm in the same boat you are but I have to say, seeing all those martin scorsese movies at a young age; king of comedy is my favourite
Thanks for this careful assessment, I have never seen anyone talk about how perfectly this movie fills you with paranoia and anxiety while making you laugh. I think this is a master piece black comedy.
Believe it or not, I think this is one os Scorsese's finest
agreed
Sorry Tim ?!!!!!! Pee-Wees Big Adventure is pure cinematic brilliance . After Hours is good too though.
I sincerely think Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is the funniest movie I've ever seen, and it's a different experience when you watch it as an adult. Also, after hearing that "sorry, Tim," I don't need to watch the rest of this.
I saw this film in the cinema back when it was released and I’ve loved it ever since, I watched it again the other night, which led me to this great review. I remember thinking that Griffin Dunne was such a great actor and was surprised that he didn’t become a huge star after this, I didn’t realise he was a producer.
It’s definitely a Scorsese gem, I’d much rather this one than any of the more famous mafia gangster films that he’s known for.
The surreal soundtrack is just brilliant too.
I remember watching this film as a kid late one night in the 90s and I loved the almost liminal atmosphere throughout, especially the feel of his workplace
I always held this film in high regard . I've put my friends on to this and they all loved it .total gem of a film great form start to finish i personal think it's one Scorsese best also king of comedy
This is such a beautiful movie something about it is just so unique, amazing review dude this video deserves more recognition. You are a very good movie critic
Amazing video. I love these kinds of video essays. How do you not have more subs... Please keep making videos.
That's a surprising appraisal of the film. My main thought throughout the film was that if Paul hadn't been so judgemental, selfish, or uptight he would have been able to avoid most of the troubles he ran into. The women he meet want a real connection with him. He pushes them away due to his own presumptions and therefore receives a deserved perdition. And even then, in the end he just ends up where he started. Meaning if he had just relaxed and trusted things would be fine, he would have been.
completely agree
I dare say you seem to have missed the humor in this movie. As the creator of this video mentions, Paul was not a night owl and rather reluctantly went out to begin with since it was already 11.30pm on a work night. So of course he's not going to have a lot of patience for meeting people who aren't what they seemed (or what he was expecting) in situations that wasn't what he had in mind where things are going sideways at every turn. To each his own, I guess, but I never saw Paul as judgmental or uptight. As he says in the film itself, "I just wanted to leave my apartment... maybe meet a nice girl... And now I've got to DIE for it?!??!" The point isn't "What could Paul have done to avoid all of this?", it's the humor at the complete and utter futility of his attempts at just trying to get home when an impromptu get together with a girl he just met didn't turn out as expected.
Absolutely BS
Which is also why he finally found a savior, and got saved, when he just properly courted a woman with a lovely dance while admitting he just wanted to live.
Dont mind the other replies. Yes its a comedy and an effective one, but this is scorsese were talking about. Dude will always sneak in bigger ideas. He explicitly states in the dvd commentary that its a screwball comedy about going to hell and trying to get out of it.
@@thatgreekguy the "bigger ideas" he sneaked into this film do not correlate with the OP's projection.
this movie is a good double feature with eyes wide shut. id watch this last since its kind of a lighter note to end on
For me it’s interesting to see SoHo as such a run down and deserted place. It has transformed so much since this film.
love the way you write and edit these
Amazing video man, smashed tf outta the like button
One of my all time favorites
"So I just broke the whole thing off!"
Thanks for the review.
Been telling people to see this movie for decades. Good to see it being appreciated. Maybe Steve Wright, comedian, would do a review.
Wright: "Man walking down a sidewalk sees a cat fall multiple stories and land on its feet then walk over to another cat and say "See, that's how it's done." "
ha, that could be a synopsis of "After Hours".
Also, John Demme's "Something Wild" is in the same vein as "After Hours", a NYC romantic comedy, Luv gone bad.
Reminds me of a funny Franz Kafka novel.
Your videos are absolutely amazing the fact you have such in depth well written and edited videos w this little recognisition is incredible
I remember watching this on the IFC channel back in 2006. I had never heard of it and couldn't beleive Scorsese made this tripped out film.
Nice upload! Got to call you out on the diner interaction. He didn’t order food ‘just to fuck with him’, it was another illustration of the guilt ridden side of Paul which to me is what makes his character attractive and illicits sympathy. He only went in there to have a piss and knew he had no money. The guy tells him he has to order something to use the bathroom. So he goes through this pretence that he is going to be right back, and to prove it, he orders something. Have you not ever gone into a place to take a desperate razz while pretending you’re a customer? It was done through guilt and trying to cover his ass when some other character might have just said, ‘ f you, see ya!’ Instead Paul again just makes things worse for himself and again it comes back at him later, adding to the mess he’s already in.
Also yes, take that invitation to a loft in SoHo. This movie reminds me a lot of crazy nights in London in the late eighties where you would lose yourself to the city for a night, open yourself to the randomness of human connections, then somehow find your way back home with no car, no cell phone and whatever change you had left in your pockets. I’m a better man for having had those adventures 😉
Great, fun movie!
Couldn't agree more. It is still hilarious! Griffin Dunne is perfect as they everyman having a night in Hell. Thank you for getting into the impact of the soundtrack, I had not appreciated that enough. Scorsese's funniest movie and one of the great comedies of the 80s.
My favourite Scorsese. I know, I know, but I don't give a fuck, it's my favourite, my love, my one.

Excellent film. PS Andewr, if you like style in the film, try Diva - a great little French film that reeks of it.
Truly an underrated masterpiece
sadly Dunne's career really never took off after this.
Saw this movie a few weeks ago. The theme is phenomenal for this movie.
This Movie is Great, Griffin Dunne Acting was so good.
His comic timing was impeccable.
Its a great film, reminded me of eyes wide shut. Just watched it for the first time 😊
HIS best movie. Big love from the UK. Best score ever.
This movie deserves more recognition
This is a great film!
Don't we all have at least that one bad day in our life? But damn Paul could not catch a break. Ending had me chuckling for minutes
The one film that managed to top Taxi Driver for me.
Also, the Bad Brains usage caught me off guard, love the fact individuals seeing these films would never have heard that otherwise; his use of Sid vicious at the closing of Goodfellas being another solid example.
Congratulations for the making of this video..super good
Discovered this as a teen in the 90s, its been one of my favourite films ever since 😀👍
This is showing at a theatre where i live tomorrow - i had never heard of this. Im going to watch it on the big screen now
I like the metaphor of harmony!
I subbed as soon as I heard u say Over The Hedge 2
if you like this movie, i beg you to read After Dark by Haruki Murakami. just read it. that's all.
I love you style of commentary, reminds me a lot of Breadsword
GREAT MOVIE! I LOVE MARTIN'S WORK! PAUL HAD A HELLUVA BAD NIGHT, BUT CHA CAN'T HELP LAUGHING AT HIM! ALL THE ACTORS PLAYED GREAT ROLLS IN "AFTER HOURS!
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after you
Dude! Awesome video! Keep it up!
thanks homie!
Came out a few months back on the Criterion streaming service, so thankfully this film will get some more views. One of his most interesting films
I started this movie on HBO on a whim, and had no idea it was directed by Scorcese. Loved the atmosphere but the train of events were quite absurd. Its as if the main character was looking for trouble
I remember this movie didn’t get much press when it came out and wasn’t popular at the few theatres it was at but i enjoyed it
I remember soho in those days very different than now- kill for an apt there ;)
just found your channel and im obsessed to say the least
Agency? Advantageous? Threshold? Disconcerted? It's like every sentence has a word used incorrectly.
hell yeah brother
@@andewr Yes, your scram to cover the internet with bad English is ambulatory and adroit.
This movie is what gave me my username
I think Michael Imperioli would be perfect in this.
🔥💯
Great video! I just watched this movie and loved it
great video essay
This is also among my top 4. I’ve seen sthing amazing in this movie when I was a kid and it stuck to me too. And, yesterday I saw sthing that puts it right amongst the most brilliant movies of all time
Great review for an awesome movie. Pretty vacant productions did a very cool comparison between this movie and Eyes Wide Shut.
Woah woah woah, “sorry Tim”, I may not myself be Burton’s biggest fan, but-Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is easily one of the top 10-20 films of the 80s, :D
0:18
Thank you for your lovely love letter, I enjoyed it
thank you ! i wish you had an edit without any added music.....its very distracting.
What’s that song that plays at the end of the video? I keep trying to look up the lyrics but I can’t find it anywhere
Gold Hotel - GOLF
There is a two word description that applies to this entire film that appears on screen briefly.
goat
Just watched, quite interesting art! Death was chasing paul all over, he escape
I don't think he ordered the meal to fuck with the guy, the owner of the diner said that he had to order something in order to use the restroom
Come back and make more videos. You cover films that i don't really know but fit within my taste
It just looks like they filmed this on the same exact set as taxi driver and king of comedy!!
New York?
@@lutherblissett8780 yeah in the same locations
I made this movie
My favourite movie
MOHAWK NIGHT!!!
📺 I turn more people on to this movie. It wonderful !
Pulp Fiction could have borrowed its nuance from this. No?
Really good movie!
lovely review of the movie! by the way, what's the song name in the background at the beginning of the video?
I’ve been trying to find it for days i can’t for the life of me remember what it is lol sorry
@@andewr AS A REFORMED HISPANIC GANG MEMBER from southern California...I can tell you that unequivocally... it's an oldie called "angel baby" ...I forgot the name of the singer.
They played it in the scene at the bar ..
I distinctly remember this cuz most people who were apart of the "chicano" culture in so cal grew up on OLDIES. And "angel baby " is ESSENTIAL listening ..
It's like "LOWRIDER OLDIES 101"
He won Cannes for it
I really enjoyed the humor
Showing movies too young will def stick, it can be as bad as it can be great for a kid , but those kids will grow up knowing shit, it’s just *what* you prioritize them knowing over other things
I been trying to find the song at the end of the video but no results :( anybody know it??
You forgot to mention that the writer plagiarized the entire story from Joe Frank (an NPR radio host)
I didn’t know that four years ago sorry
@@andewr all good, Joe Frank was compensated after suing them; and it seems the writer barely ever worked again after that. Despite the drama, I agree the movie's great.
