Harold and Maude
Hal Ashby, USA, 1971o
The young Harold lives in his own world of suicide-attempts and funeral visits to avoid the misery of his current family and home environment. Harold meets an 80-year-old woman named Maude who also lives in her own world yet one in which she is having the time of her life. When the two opposites meet they realize that their differences don’t matter and they become best friends and love each other.
Rythmé par les chansons de Cat Stevens et avec un duo d'acteurs qui s'impose comme une évidence, ce petit bijou d'humour noir et de délicatesse est à redécouvrir d'urgence.
Nicolas MailleAshby signe avec Harold et Maude un film audacieux, mélancolique et élégant.
