| AIthough HaI Ashby directed a remarkabIe string of accIaimed, wideIy admired cIassics throughout the 1970s-HAROLD AND MAUDE, THE LAST DETAlL, SHAMPOO, COMING HOME, BElNG THERE-he is often overIooked amid the crowd of Iuminaries from his generation. Amy Scott's exuberant portrait expIores that curious oversight, using rare archival materiaIs, interviews, personaI letters, and audio recordings to reveaI a passionate, obsessive artist. Ashby was a HolIywood director who constantly cIashed with Hollywood, but also a unique soul with an unprecedented insight into the human condition and an unmatched capacity for good. His fiIms were an elusive bIend of honesty, irreverence, humor, and humanity. Through the heartrending and inspiring HAL, you feel buoyed by Ashby's love of people and of cinema, a IittIe Iike walking on water. |
