Harold and Maude

Harold and Maude is a black comedy. One of the blackest, as the main character often pretends to commit suicide infront of his mother and potential dates. While attending other peoples funerals he strikes up a friendship with a rebellious old lady who lives life to the full. The pairing of these two is great, and the performances really shine. The soundtrack by Cat Stevens gives the films poignant moments a suitably pleasant hug. The gags are incredibly sharp and the script is slight but well written. The film meanders slightly as it nears its last scenes, but its definatly worth your time.
