Cinema Gourmet: Harold and Maude

Cinema Gourmet, Golden Isles Arts & Humanities’ popular series pairing delicious food with classic films, kicks off its season on Thursday, October 12, 2023 with the cult classic, Harold and Maude. The film’s screening and discussion are paired with the culinary delights of Chef Judah Lynch and Indigo Coastal Shanty. The evening’s events begin with delicious food at 6:30pm.

Harold and Maude tells the story of the emotional and romantic bond between a death-obsessed young man (Bud Cort) from a wealthy family and a devil-may-care, bohemian 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 wonderful soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
