Hal Ashby directed a remarkable string of acclaimed, widely admired classics
throughout the 1970s-HAROLD AND MAUDE, THE LAST DETAIL, SHAMPOO, COMING HOME,
BEING THERE-he is often overlooked amid the crowd of luminaries from his
generation. Amy Scott's exuberant portrait explores that curious oversight,
using rare archival materials, interviews, personal letters, and audio
recordings to reveal a passionate, obsessive artist. Ashby was a Hollywood
director who constantly clashed with Hollywood, but also a unique soul with an
unprecedented insight into the human condition
