Scorsese's 'After Hours'

[Shawn Murphy]

Listening to the commentary from Marty and the DP was very informative and rewarding, recommended!

I've always loved the film, and wondered why so many people passed on it even though it won Best Director at Cannes, brilliant!

I thought it was a very good movie, I like the camera moves in the beggining and at the end.

yeah, actually, the commentary talks a fair amount about the shots and the philosophy behind the, the key shot where kiki drops the keys was the most important shot of the film, it took like 10 different shots to make it, and they actually started out with some crazy (dangerous) rig that dropped from the top of the building attached to bungee cord, a board with a hole in it, they eventually abandoned it because it was too dangerous and ended up using a crane.
