Martin Scorsese's
After Hours is a dark, tragi-comic tale of a fish out of water, centering on an uptight, white-bread computer consultant from uptown Manhattan who finds himself in the nightmarish and incomprehensible (to him) world of Soho after dark. The ordeal begins when Paul Hackett (
Griffin Dunne) gets lonely and decides to leave the posh East Side and search the Soho streets for some loving from Marcy (
Rosanna Arquette), the pretty young woman he met in a downtown cafe. He has her phone number and works up the nerve to call. She wants to see him, and so Paul grabs $20, hails a taxi and sets out. The weirdness begins when he loses his money during the high-speed cab ride. His visit to Marcy's loft, where he meets her crazed artist roommate Kiki (
Linda Fiorentino), is a disaster, as is his encounter with the beehive-wearing retro waitress Julie (
Teri Garr).
