Martin Scorsese needed this rebound.

We're on the cusp of yet another Martin Scorsese epic with Killers of the Flower Moon, a movie over three hours long that's reportedly cost $200 million and has been met with critical acclaim, as most of Scorsese's recent films have.

Then, Scorsese planned on continuing to pursue his biggest passion project: The Last Temptation of Christ. He had wanted to get that film made for years, but the controversial nature of its material was so heated that Paramount Pictures, who were going to develop it with him, dropped the film entirely, as explained in the book Martin Scorsese: Close Up: The Making of His Movies. This one-two punch knocked the wind out of Scorsese, but didn't knock him down.

'After Hours' Is Filled With Bizarre, Committed Performances What makes the film so much more fun than it has any right to be is that, with Scorsese's touch, it manages to be both a flop sweat thriller and secretly a screwball comedy.
