Headfirst Editor's Pick
"'Ever drive a hearse, Harold?' Life affirming, faintly horrifying, and initially brutally panned 70s black comedy Harold & Maude screens at The Ill Repute as blessed angels of the cozzie livs Be Kind Rewind continue to churn out a sickening line-up of £2 cult classics."

Be Kind Rewind Bristol presents CULTURA Film Festival 2024 at The Ill Repute on Old Market
We are excited to bring together film enthusiasts and celebrate the unique and diverse world of cult cinema. Join us on SATURDAY 6th JULY 2024 for a day of special screenings of some weird and wonderful films. Don't miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating realm of cult cinema.
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 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 remarkable soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
Start times:
14:00 - House (1977) (runtime: 88mins)
15:45 - Harold and Maude (1971) (runtime: 91mins)
