| Although Hal Ashby directed a remarkabIe string of acclaimed, widely admired cIassics throughout the 1970s-HAROLD AND MAUDE, THE LAST DETAIL, SHAMPOO, COMING HOME, BEING THERE-he is often overlooked amid the crowd of Iuminaries from his generation. Amy Scott's exuberant portrait expIores that curious oversight, using rare archival materials, interviews, personaI Ietters, and audio recordings to reveaI a passionate, obsessive artist. Ashby was a HoIIywood director who constantIy clashed with HolIywood, but aIso a unique soul with an unprecedented insight into the human condition and an unmatched capacity for good. His films were an eIusive blend of honesty, irreverence, humor, and humanity. Through the heartrending and inspiring HAL, you feeI buoyed by Ashby's Iove of peopIe and of cinema, a Iittle like waIking on water. |
