With the idiosyncratic American fable Harold and Maude, countercultural director Hal Ashby fashioned what would become the cult classic of its era. Equal parts gallows humor and romantic innocence, the film dissolves the line between darkness and light along with the ones that separate people by class, gender, and age, and it features indelible performances and a remarkable soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
Death-obsessed teenager Harold forms an unlikely friendship with eccentric 79-year-old Maude. As the relationship grows and deepens into something more, Maude teaches Harold the true joy of living.
