Negative Positive
Title: I could take refuge in the atmosphere of Harold and Maude.
Review: This coming from someone who only recently discovered H&M, I probably don't have much to add to the praise. With all the over-the-top special effects that pollute films today, the unassuming quiet simplicity of this eccentric little film is a breath of fresh air. The love story was very sweet; the concentrated shot of positivity very uplifting. These points make the film commendable; what makes the film incredible is the atmosphere it creates - audio visual candy. You don't even need to follow the plot to appreciate the pure art that it is. Calm beautiful images juxtaposed against calm beautiful music. The two meld to create a new beast of sensory awe on a level beyond storyline. And there's just something about Harold's voice that's really mesmerizing - indescribable, save for A Poem. It's so soft and slight - like the balm of summer's breeze across my face.
