SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

“You sure have a way with people.”

In a year that also saw the Manson Family trial, the Attica Prison uprising, and a seemingly endless war, Hal Ashby (Shampoo) delivered a tender and funny cult classic about the things that make life worth living. When depressed Harold (Bud Cort) befriends enlightened septuagenarian Maude (Ruth Gordon), he learns the banjo, sticks it to the man, and falls in love. With beautiful turns from Cort, who passed away earlier this year, and the legendary Gordon and a perfect Cat Stevens soundtrack, HAROLD AND MAUDE celebrates love above all things.
