Harold And Maude: The Criterion Collection

Harold And Maude: The Criterion Collection

With the idiosyncratic American fable Harold and Maude, countercultural director Hal Ashby

fashioned what would become the cult classic of its era. Working from a script by Colin Higgins,

Ashby tells the story of the emotional and romantic bond between a death-obsessed young man from a wealthy family and a devil-may-care, bohemian octogenarian

(Ruth Gordon). Equal parts gallows humor and romantic innocence, ~~Harold And

Maude~~ 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.
