Harold and Maude

1971, US, Hal Ashby, 91 min. With Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort, and Vivian Pickles

Introduced by actor Mark Feuerstein

At a funeral, a young man obsessed with death meets an old woman obsessed with living. The pair falls in love, much to the dismay of …well, everyone.

“Ashby forever treads the thin line between whimsy and absurdity and “˜tough’ sentimentality and black comedy.”—Time Out

“It’s not quite a romance, not quite a buddy picture. It is, however, one of the “˜70s quirkiest comedies, and its bleak morbidity is uncommonly matched by its over-the-top hilarity.”—Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com, August 2005
