After Hours

[Zappa]

I just watched an unbelievably strange movie. "After Hours," a character study set in New York throughout the course of one rough night for an average white-collar type guy, earned Martin Scorcese the best Director award at the 1985 Cannes festival. The lead character meets a woman in a coffee shop, and she gives him her number. Calling and meeting her turns out to be quite a mistake, and our hero finds himself broke and stranded in the SoHo district of Manhattan all night, where he is confronted by a host of very strange, lonely women.

The movie is a very dark comedy, and almost all of the laughs are nervous, uncomfortable ones. It's incredibly entertaining and engrossing, though.

Highly recommended.

Sounds like a porno to me. I believe when you say its a dark comedy though.

Heh, not a porno. The women are more seeking someone to talk to than to have sex with.

There is one scene featuring a young, topless Linda Fiorentino, if that's any incentive to anyone looking for a reason to see this movie.

i don't believe i know who linda fiorentino is. I'm not very good at remembering actors/actresses. More to the point, is she hot?

If you think you'd find a younger, slightly punkish sculptor played by the chick from Men In Black attractive, then yes. I know I do.
