After Hours
“surrender dorthy!!”
this is exactly why i’m not a people pleaser dude fr just wanted a good night but i know kafka would’ve adored this. this film is a very under appreciated kafkaesque nightmare that is literally the embodiment of a bad dream. it confines you in an unfamiliar dreamscape that maintains paranoia and anxiety but still makes you laugh taking you through this surreal waking nightmare.
you aren’t supposed to feel emotionally connected to the characters paul encounters any more than you feel emotionally connected to the figments of your imagination in your own dreams and the absurdity of that i feel like just adds another level of appreciation. It’s like different rules apply when it’s this late, you know what i mean it’s like after hours.
