His seven films\, including HAROLD AND MAUDE\, COMING HOME and BEING THERE\, each demonstrate a soulfulness\, emotional sophistication\, social awareness and sense of humor. Amy Scott explores Ashby’s glorious explosion of creative expression\, investigating his tragic youth\, his indoctrination into cinema (he won an Oscar for editing IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT)\, his on-set egalitarianism (even a production assistant might have a good idea) and his remarkable strength of will\, which allowed him to fight for control with studio heads and win ... until he didn’t. Filled with fantastic clips and heartfelt interviews\, this is an essential addition to our film history.” – \;Jason Silverman\, Telluride Film Festival \; \;An ongoing series:December 3 \;- THE LANDLORD (1970\, 112 minutes\, Rated R) \;January 7 \;- HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971\, 91 minutes\, Rated PG) \;February 4 \;- BEING THERE (1979\, 130 minutes\, Rated PG) X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
