Harold & Maude **
Hal Ashby, 1971

Vivian Pickles' overbearing mother is probably my favorite thing here, although Maude's notoriously shaped statue/sculpture in the middle of her house is right up there. In some ways, particularly the opening scene, this reminded me of The Ruling Class, made around the same time in Britain, but this is certainly a lighter film. The uncle appears to be a castoff from Dr. Strangelove. It was interesting to watch this keeping Rushmore in mind, cf. Jason Schwartzman's comments on Bud Cort as Harold in GOOD Magazine.
