Harold and Maude

Hal Ashby / US, 1971 / 91 min.

Another chance to see actor Bud Cort, who recently passed away at the age of 77, in Hal Ashby’s seventies classic Harold and Maude. A black comedy about tormented twenty-something with a death wish Harold and 79-year-old Holocaust survivor Maude.

poster Harold and Maude (Hal Ashby, US 1971)
Could they? Should they? Newly romantically entangled Harold (Bud Cort) and Maude (Ruth Gordon) don’t care what the rest of the world thinks – even if it looks quizzically at the attraction between brooding twenty-something Harold and 79-year-old Maud, a Holocaust survivor overflowing with lust for life.
