After Hours - 1985
★★★★★ (5/5 stars)

I saw it at the Egyptian last night with Q&A with Rosanna Arquette.
I'd seen After Hours once before a few years ago. Watched it at home with my friend and former roomate, Mac. We loved it. It's interesting because watching it feels like you're watching the first really amazing film from a young auteur but it's a movie Scorcese made after a string of box office hits. A testimate to his ability to captivate an audience and stay fresh in spite of his access to higher budgets. It almost made me cry seeing Rosanna step onto the stage after the film. Like a real life magic trick watching her come back to life.
Seen at the Egyptian Theatre, Q&A with Rosanna Arquette, May 2025
