With the idiosyncratic American fable Harold and Maude, countercultural director Hal Ashby fashioned what would become the cult classic of its era. Harold and Maude dissolves the line between darkness and light along with the ones that separate people by class, gender, and age, and it features indelible performances and a remarkable soundtrack by Cat Stevens.

The Garden Cinema View:

At once satirical, dark and existential, Harold and Maude is not easy to define. One thing is certain, behind its macabre eccentricity lies a beautiful romantic story unlike any other in cinema. As Rupert Christiansen writes 'Only the most miserable cynic could resist its unique charm and ultimate hopefulness'. The desperate romantics at The Garden Cinema offer Harold and Maude as a Valentine's Day treat to arouse the passions of our audience.
