After Hours
A bored, buttoned-up, buttoned-down word processor (Griffin Dunne) sets out on a late night date and finds that different rules apply when it's after hours. An inventive dark comedy, in which all reality seems to be turned upside-down, peopled by a cast including Rosanna Arquette, Teri Garr, John Heard and Cheech and Chong. Scorsese received Best Director honours at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival for this. Written by Joseph Minion ('Vampire's Kiss').
