If you loved Shampoo, try Harold and Maude

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Hal Ashby, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shampoo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Harold and Maude is

A 1970s California funeral, a hearse driving by, a solitary figure watching. A young man's fake suicides, an older woman's joyful grave visits, a peculiar bond forms. Ashby's dark humor grounds this odd romance.
