Harold and Maude (1971)

Posted on 00:50 by uthpa
Essential Viewing
USA
Feature Film
Director: Hal Ashby
Writer: Colin Higgins
Cinematographer: John Alonzo
Cast: Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort, Vivian Pickles, Cyril Cusack, Charles Tyner

A death obsessed, compulsive funeral attending young man, Harold (a pasty Bud Cort), meets a vivacious, carefree woman on the verge of her 80th birthday, Maude (a never better Ruth Gordon), and a tentative romance forms, in Ashby’s ridiculously funny, satirically nuanced, and swooningly romantic (?) take on the May-December relationship.
