ReviewsMartha's Vineyard Times - Understatedly hilarious. Cort and Gordon are a truly unique pairing. A must see.
Additional InformationIn the long ago days before video when access to anything but first-run Hollywood movies was limited to repertory houses and college film societies, Hal Ashby's HAROLD AND MAUDE, while not what one would call an underground film, achieved cult status, becoming one of the most popular American films of its time. It is, interestingly, a very simple story. He's shy and morose; she's spunky and full of life. The film is a cliched love story about how opposites attract, except that he's 19 and she's 79. Harold, played with deadpan humor by Bud Cort, is under extreme pressure from his overbearing mother, Mrs. Chasen (Vivian Pickles), in a performance that is a sheer delight, to enter the dating world in hopes of marriage, but he would rather spend his time going to funerals, which is where he meets Maude (Ruth Gordon). She feels he needs to come out of his shell and enjoy life, so she includes him in hers, which is one long, unending series of lunatic adventures, ranging from saving trees to grand theft auto. Their love affair celebrated the spirit of an experimental generation guided by the mantra "If it feels good, do it." The soundtrack, with songs and lyrics by Cat Stevens (which Pauline Kael called "mush minded"), provides an effective thematic bridge as Harold crosses from extended adolescence to manhood.

  • Harold and Maude

    A harder than hard film which I watched upon release and remembered with great fondness. The two main characters performances were outstanding and worthy of much praise. There was chemistry between them which was so convincing it seemed perfectly genuine and real. One great movie.

  • Useful for counselling

    I bought this as it was a recommended book for counsellors who are undertaking 'inner child' work with clients. I found it very insightful with the older female character being able to help the younger male character 'find' his inner child. As a result he was able to find a new meaning to his previously bleak and seemingly worthless life. Lots of black humour, though which some might find a bit disturbing but I feel that this is an integral and necessary part of the message which the film is seeking to get across to its viewers. Al in all a really lovely film which I will be watching time and time again.

  • Good film

    I liked this film it was strange though. Ruth Gordon played her part well. I've never heard off her co-star. As well as black comedies go this is worth watching.
