Harold is a teenager with a predilection for strange cars and the staging of outlandish fake suicides that have long since ceased to elicit any kind of meaningful response from his mother. At a funeral (where else?), the eccentric octogenarian Maude enters his life. This funny and affecting classic presents one of the most endearing and uncommon couplings in movie history. Hal Ashby’s film reverberates with the dreamy and yet vivacious energy of the hippie era—and the legendary soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
