Filmhouse/New Kalamata Cinema Club-HAROLD AND MONT
Spread the word
A young rich kid named Bud Court will meet the love of his life at a funeral. Which life he desperately wants to end with failed, grotesque suicide attempts.
In 1971, the later acclaimed director of "Shampoo" and "Be There, Mr. Chance" believed so much in the crazy love of a depressed young man with a godly 80-year-old woman that he captured it in one of the most subversive films of that decade.
Except that "Harold and Maude" wouldn't be just a black comedy or an anarchist love story, but a non-conformist and ultimately refreshing eulogy to freedom and the joy of life.
It is a timeless cult movie, a mutated romance for those who hate romance, a film with the power to move even today. It is an unconventional, multi-layered, dark comedy about the boundaries between darkness and light.
