Review of Harold and Maude (1971) by Elizabeth P — 27 Jul 2009
How did this movie get on my list? I don't remember, but it was quite an experience to say the least.
It is a very dark romantic comedy! Not a favorite genre of mine - but I'll say one thing for it - it did pass the Anne test.
I do not find suicide funny. Therefore the use of repeat suicide attempts in the course of developing the plot left me feeling like I should just turn off the tv and go to something productive.
Ruth Gordon gave a delightful performance.
I will say one positive thing about this movie was the music. If you like Cat Stevens (and we do) you will enjoy the songs.
