Harold and Maude

Harold is a young man, living in his wealthy mother's estate. He is leading a rather directionless existance consumed only with acts of fake suicide to irritate his patient mother(wonderfully played by Vivian Pickles)and frequent visits to the funerals of strangers where he can absorb the grief and remain entrenched in his death-obsessed twilight. enter 79 year old Maude who also attends strangers funerals whereupon she meets young Harold. at first, he does not know what to make of her for she counters his love of death with a love of life. gradually Harold begins to see the error of his ways. songs by Cat Stevens throughout are excellent.                                        6/8/07
