AFTER HOURS + INTRODUCTION BY GRIFFIN DUNNE

Director: MARTIN SCORSESE

97 mins, 1985, USA, Digital

To keep a date with Marcy (Rosanna Arquette), uptight New Yorker Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) bravely ventures into the wilds of downtown Manhattan’s (then notorious) SoHo district and is propelled into a hilarious, nightmarish odyssey across the city’s mean streets in Martin Scorsese’s classic skewering of yuppie anxieties. Nothing in Paul’s life has prepared him for his surreal encounters with Marcy’s far-out artist roommate Kiki (Linda Fiorentino); cocktail waitress Julie (Teri Garr); ice cream vendor Gail (Catherine O’Hara); and June (Verna Bloom), who lives in the basement of a nightclub. Paul longs for the safety of his upper-East Side apartment … but will he ever make it home?

The screening will be introduced by Griffin Dunne.
