Hoezo in KINO

“What Martin Scorsese film features Cheech & Chong?” is quite the quiz trivia as this mid-Eighties classic by the maestro has been criminally underseen for decades. Scorsese’s ‘one night’ in New York’s Soho neighbourhood flick is an unrelenting episodic absurdist comedy about a young man that is about to have one hell of an evening as he thinks he’s going on a date with a girl he met earlier that day. Fate is deciding otherwise. After Hours is beautifully restored and screens for the first time since its release in this neck of the woods. Don’t miss out. English language without subtitles.

Storyline

What if that date you thought would never end didn’t? When an uptown New Yorker innocently meets a downtown girl, he’s uncontrollably drawn into a vortex of wild, malevolent and paranoid adventures After Hours. Paul Hackett’s (Griffin Dunne) terrible night happens in the SoHo area of downtown Manhattan when he goes to keep a date with Marcy (Rosanna Arquette). Nothing in his humdrum life as a word processor has prepared him for his surreal encounters with Marcy; her 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. Now, Paul longs only for the safety of his upper-East Side apartment … but will he ever make it home?
