Presented in the original English with English subtitles.
HAROLD AND MAUDE tells the story of an unusual young man who stages fake suicides and an eccentric elderly woman who lives freely and fearlessly. Their unexpected romance becomes a life lesson in joy, mortality, and rebellion against conformity.
Hal Ashby’s direction turns dark humor into human warmth, using Cat Stevens’ music and offbeat tone to challenge the boundaries of love and age. Initially misunderstood, the film grew into a cult classic, defining 1970s counterculture cinema.
It remains both tender and subversive, showing that death can’t overshadow life’s absurd beauty.
