Heir presumptive to Jean--Jacques Beneix's Diva and Susan Seidelman's Desperately Seeking Susan, After Hours meanders along to the beat of a surrealistic cinematographic drummer by photography director Michael Ballhaus, who captures that side of New York that Mayor Koch hopes we don't see. Not that Soho after hours doesn't look like an interesting spot, offering the prospective tourist an endless range of entertainment possibilities, ranging from punk rock clubs decorated in a nouveau underground garage to slimy bars frequented by leather and spike clad homosexual bikers.

...colorful accounts of the operation against the Rainbow Warrior. It was inconceivable, Le Monde claimed, that Vice Admiral Lacoste, the foreign espionage chief, would have acted without orders. Among those who might have authorized the attack or allowed it to happen, the paper said, were Lacoste's superiors: General Jean-Michel Saulnier, Mitterrand's personal chief of staff when the surveillance scheme was conceived; General Jeannou Lacaze, then overall armed forces Chief of Staff; and Hernu.

Suzanna Hamilton plays this variably vacant, furious, and wise creature with uncanny control. The police officer (Stuart Wilson) gets the best lines in Wetherby as consolation...

Some stern beliefs guide his vision and Hare doesn't care to disguise them--like the perhaps blind faith in education for its own sake and the fact that, as Jean states so simply, "Life is dangerous...And sometimes there's nothing you can do." In much of his writing, Hare catches and ponders all the disturbing signs, the unfocused anger of English life. But thankfully he doesn't really try to explain the enigma of John Morgan when...
...property selling two years ago for $300,000 is now going for $650,000," said Jean LeVaux, president of a local real estate firm. LeVaux noted that $850,000 is the average price of a home near the Green...
