Movies like After Hours

“After Hours (1985) is a 1980s American dark-comedy that reframes a single nocturnal odyssey as a formal study of proximity and impulsive choice. Its core conflict positions an ordinary office worker's desire to escape routine against an indifferent, surreal urban environment, rendered through high-contrast chiaroscuro and tight night-time staging. The film compels an uneasy reckoning with urban-alienation and moral ambiguity, turning small misadventures into sustained psychological pressure.”
