After Hours - Criterion Collection Blu-Ray

Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne), an office worker in Manhattan, is desperate to escape his mind-numbing routine and heads downtown to meet a mysterious woman (Rosanna Arquette). Thus begins the wildest night of his life, as bizarre events unfold involving underground art punks, a desperate waitress, a crazy Mister Softee truck driver, and a bagel-and-cream cheese paperweight—pile up with anxiety-inducing relentlessness, thwarting his attempts to get home. Directed by Martin Scorsese, with kinetic cinematography by Michael Ballhaus and scene-stealing supporting roles by Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, and John Heard—a darkly comical tale of mistaken identity that transforms the seedy nightlife of 1980s SoHo into a bohemian wonderland of surreal menace.
