What to Expect
Curated by our resident film nerds: Each month brings a carefully selected gem from the world of cinema's hidden corners. Think surrealist masterpieces, haunting silent films with live musical accompaniment, and underground treasures that challenge perspectives and expand minds.

March Screening: Harold and Maude (1971) — dir. Hal Ashby
What happens when a death-obsessed 20-year-old and a life-hungry 79-year-old fall in love at a stranger's funeral? Cinema's most unlikely romance, that's what.
Hal Ashby's Harold and Maude is one of those rare films that shouldn't work — and yet it works completely. Harold (Bud Cort) stages elaborate fake suicides to get his mother's attention and attends funerals for fun. Maude (Ruth Gordon) steals cars, philosophizes with abandon, and greets every day like it's the most interesting thing that's ever happened to her. When their paths cross in a cemetery, something unexpectedly beautiful unfolds.
Released in 1971 to baffled reviews and a slow-burn theatrical run, the film became a countercultural touchstone — a darkly funny, fiercely tender meditation on mortality, freedom, and the radical act of choosing joy. Cat Stevens' score wraps the whole thing in warmth you won't shake for days.
Over fifty years on, Harold and Maude still feels like a secret being whispered between people who really know how to live.
Come see it on the big screen. Bring someone you love. Or someone you've just met at a funeral.
