After Hours is certainly different to the usual Scorsese movie. I remember the first time I watched it and was completely baffled as I was expecting a romantic comedy and that was definitely not what I got! I watched it again when I was a bit older and worldly wise and understood it a whole lot better. Think it’s one of Scorsese’s least known and most underrated films and glad you covered it 👍🏼

Now, off to read your American Werewolf in London article as that is easily in my top 10 movies of all time 🐺

I always loved After Hours and I used it as a model for one of my early scripts. Like so many movies you cover, I always find myself saying, it's been so long since I've seen it and I need to again soon! Great article, as always.

Enjoyed this read! As someone that would happily watch a 4-hour Scorsese movie, I love that he proved he could make a great shorter movie with restrictions, like After Hours.
