Young adult Harold Chasen, solitary and friendless by choice, is obsessed with death, this fascination manifesting itself in he staging his own fake suicides, driving a hearse and attending funerals, even of people he doesn't know, all to the chagrin of his exasperated wealthy mother with whom he lives. Mrs. Chasen is determined for Harold to be "normal", including her sending him into therapy to deal with his issues and finding him a girlfriend through a computer dating service. It is at a series of funerals that Harold meets Maude, on the cusp of her eightieth birthday, she who too attends funerals of strangers. Unlike Harold, Maude is obsessed with life - her own life to be more precise - she does whatever she wants to please herself, damned what others may think or how they may be affected. Since she can't take material possessions with her, she is more interested in experiences, with whatever material possessions she has - often "borrowed" without asking - only to further those experiences. Their friendship is initially based on how the other can further their own priority. But as Maude shows Harold how to truly live, Harold falls in love with her. Their relationship, already limited in time by the sheer math, is curtailed even more as Maude shows him only not how to live well, but die well.
Leave your thoughts about Harold and Maude.
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellA treasure that's as applicable today as it was more than three decades ago. |
| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniHarold and Maude is the movie to see when you get tired of pulling the wings off of flies and chopping off puppy dogs' tales. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe movie is a paean to outsiders and reckless love. |
| Martha's Vineyard Times (Massachusetts)Niki PattonUnderstatedly hilarious. Cort and Gordon are a truly unique pairing. A must see. |
| eFilmCritic.comGreg MuskewitzOne of those films you just don't want to end. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeBy turns funny, moving and outrageous - sometimes all at once - the film is Hal Ashby's masterpiece. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumOne of the classic American romance stories |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitHarold and Maude marks the first time I realized that famed Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic Roger Ebert could be wrong. |
| VarietyVariety StaffMarked by a few good gags, but marred by a greater preponderance of sophomoric, overdone and mocking humor. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyCertainly a little twisted, but with such a powerfully warm 70's sunflower heart, "Harold and Maude" endears. I think of it as the cinematic equivalent to "The Little Prince" |
