Movie Reviews of Harold and Maude
Movie Review: Excellent Film!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Harold and Maude" is one of the BEST films ever made. Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon give such brillant and believable performances. As you watch the film you entirely forget the age difference and find yourself believing that yes, "Harold loves Maude". The music of Cat Stevens adds an undercurrent that not only is this Romeo and Juliet of the early 1970's but also an extension of the counterculture movement of the 1960's. Maude, though old enough to be Harold's Grandmother, is a free spirit that decries the materialism and rigid social conventions of the day and personifies the counterculture movement. I only wish that a sequel could have been made; something like "Life After Maude" where we would find Harold making a profound and beneficial change in American culture.
Summary of Harold and Maude
An outrageous tale of two loopy lovers that will change your ideas about romance forever. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 03/16/2004 Starring: Ruth Gordon Vivian Rickles Run time: 91 minutes Rating: PgBlack comedies don't come much blacker than this cult favorite from 1972, and they don't come much funnier, either. It seemed that director Hal Ashby was the perfect choice to mine a mother lode of eccentricity from the original script by Colin Higgins, about the unlikely romance between a death-obsessed 19-year-old named Harold (Bud Cort) and a life-loving 79-year-old widow named Maude (Ruth Gordon). They meet at a funeral, and Maude finds something oddly appealing about Harold, urging him to "reach out" and grab life by the lapels as opposed to dwelling morbidly on mortality. Harold grows fond of the old gal--she's a lot more fun than the girls his mother desperately matches him up with--and together they make Harold & Maude one of the sweetest and most unconventional love stories ever made. Much of the earlier humor arises from Harold's outrageous suicide fantasies, played out as a kind of twisted parlor game to mortify his mother, who's grown immune to her strange son's antics. Gradually, however, the film's clever humor shifts to a brighter outlook and finally arrives at a point where Harold is truly happy to be alive. Featuring soundtrack songs by Cat Stevens, this comedy certainly won't appeal to all tastes (it was a box-office flop when first released), but if you're on its quirky wavelength, it might just strike you as one of the funniest movies you've ever seen. --Jeff Shannon
