A classic cult film that features one of the screen's most unlikely pairs. It will defy everything you've ever seen or known about screen lovers. Bud Cort is Harold, a young man bored with wealth but interested in death. And Ruth Gordon is Maude, a wonderful old rascal who can see nothing but good intentions in the world. Hal Ashby (Coming Home, Being There) directed from Colin Higgin's (Foul Play) first script. An outrageously funny and affecting film that proves love has no boundaries. Cat Stevens provides an uplifting musical score.

Harold And Maude review by Geek Pie
A timeless classic

Harold is an odd young man with a preoccupation with death. Constantly faking suicide to get the attention of his inattentive wealthy mother, this wealthy young man spends his time attending the funerals of strangers and cruising around in his very own hearse. While attending a funeral he encounters 79 year old Maude, a fellow 'funeral gatecrasher', and a woman like no other he has ever met. Together, they embark on a life changing friendship. Maude teaches him to embrace life, challenge authority and awakens his spirit to the world around him. 'Harold and Maude' is both about learning to embrace life, finding joy in the little things, not taking a moment for granted, and at the same time a dark comedy about two if life's misfits who find friendship and love in the company of one another. My only complaint about 'Harold and Maude' is that I didn't make time to see it sooner.

Harold And Maude review by JD
Eccentric but dated
(2) of (2) members found this review helpful.
Delightfully eccentric film about a lad with a preoccupation with suicide. There are memorable scenes of his suicide bids, the first being the most shocking and subsequent attempts getting more comical. The style of acting and direction are dated and for my taste distant and impersonal. Some of the plot is unexplained. The unique humour is the outstanding feature which remains quirky and enjoyable throughout.

Harold And Maude review by Rubber Ducky
Different, intriguing comedy
(2) of (3) members found this review helpful.
Harold is a young man constantly faking suicide in bizarre ways in an attempt to get the attention of his extremely wealthy, but cold, socially climbing mother. She does her best to take over his life, including trying to find him a 'suitable' wife through a dating agency. Harold manages to see off his suitors by inflicting unusual staged injuries on himself in their company. Harold eets an elderly lady, Maude, at one of the funerals he likes to gatecrash. Her total disregard for rules and free spirit teaches him about life and love. This is an absolutely delightful film which is extremely funny, yet with a sad twist. I wish it was a little longer as the relationship between Harold and Maude is one to relish!

Oddly unique

I found this film strange initially to get into but once the weirdness was accepted I found it uniquely interesting,amusing and charming. Rent this out if you want a change to the run of the mill "hit movies".
