Harold and Maude
Directed by Hal Ashby
1971
★ 6.0 editorial score
It failed on release and then ran 115 straight weeks at a single Minnesota theater: a death-obsessed teenager falls for a seventy-nine-year-old, and Cat Stevens scores the whole thing.
“So how does Harold And Maude look today, seen with fresh eyes? Mostly terrific, but also more than a little familiar. As I said, the film is the birth of modern indie quirk, full of elements and attitudes that have become cliché...but there's good quirk and bad quirk, and Harold And Maude still falls on the right side of the line.”
