Harold and Maude screening (2018-Jun-23 @ 7:30 p.m.)

2018-Jun-23 @ 19:30 - 21:01

The Dryden will screen Harold and Maude (Hal Ashby, U.S. 1971, 91 min., 35mm) as part of the Youth in Love series.

By staging elaborate fake suicides, Harold, a bored and depressive young boy, desperately tries to gain the attention of his wealthy and absent mother. To kill time, he goes to funerals, where he ends up meeting another regular attendee, Maude, an intriguing woman who could easily be his grandmother. Maude has a cheerful touch of madness, regardless of her past, which has not always been joyful. At her side, Harold learns to smile and begins to find life more enjoyable. Harold and Maude are certainly one of the most iconic movie couples. Still, when it was released, the bittersweet tone of the film was not really to the taste of the critics. Despite the mixed reviews, the movie has gained popularity over the years to the point of becoming a classic.
