HAROLD AND MAUDE

Hal Ashby

  • 91 minutes
  • 1971
  • English
  • September 13 - 15

    With the idiosyncratic American fable HAROLD AND MAUDE, countercultural director Hal Ashby fashioned what would become the cult classic of its era. Working from a script by Colin Higgins, Ashby tells the story of the emotional and romantic bond between a death-obsessed young man (Bud Cort) from a wealthy family and a bohemian, anarchist octogenarian (Ruth Gordon). Equal parts gallows humor and romantic innocence, 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.

MS. 45

Abel Ferrara

  • 80 minutes
  • 1981
  • English
  • September 14 - 15

    American independent film icon Abel Ferrara's (BAD LIEUTENANT, KING OF NEW YORK) 1981 revenge thriller classic MS. 45 follows a mute garment-district seamstress - played by the late model / actress / musician / screenwriter Zoe Lund - who after falling victim to multiple unspeakable assaults, ignites her one-woman homicidal rampage against New York City's entire male population. Combining the rabid angst of TAXI DRIVER and Roman Polanski's surreal, post-traumatic REPULSION, MS. 45 rages from the cult underground over 40 years later as one of the most subversive, complex and empowering films of the 1980s. Essential cinema.

This remarkable film unveils the very human desires and drives that motivate us to reach out for something bigger than ourselves. With an intimate but respectful camera, a considerate tone and a profound understanding of urban alienation, Wilson puts forth something that will make or anyone who’s ever sat with unprocessed grief and suffering feel a little less alone.
