Movie Haiku:One of the iconic ‘60s films that once captured the zeitgeist, but now looks dated & amateurish. Harold’s the enervated scion of the idle rich. Maude’s the emblematic Holocaust survivor who teaches him the secret of happiness. Cat Stevens’ voice dominates the soundtrack. We’re casting ourselves here as the kill-joys.
