Description

A cult classic pairs a dead-pan disillusioned 20-year-old obsessed with suicide and a loveable fun-loving 80-year-old eccentric. Directed by Hal Ashby (1971), Starring: Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon, Music by Cat Stevens (PG) This Cult classic at 50 years young pairs Cort as a dead-pan disillusioned 20-year-old obsessed with suicide and a loveable Gordon as a fun-loving 80-year-old eccentric. They meet at a funeral, and develop a taboo romantic relationship, in which they explore the tired theme of the meaning of life with a fresh perspective. “A philosophical black comedy for grandparents and grandchildren, or what Walt Disney and Lucille Ball might have thought up if they’d taken courses in the Absurd at UCLA.” —New York Review of Books The Colonial Theatre is the home of arts, film, music and culture in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. The 300-seat theater offers state-of-the-art digital projection and surround sound for independent and world cinema, and hosts Grammy award-winning performing artists and family entertainment from May through October—all without losing the intimate charm of a vintage summer theater.
