Synopsis "Truly original filmmaking. Wonderfully funny. Allen's new movie isihis best." -New York Magazine Woody Allen reinvents himself again with the epic historical satire that is a "wonderfully funny and eclectic distillation of the Russian literary soul" (New York Magazine). One of his most visual, philosophical and elaborately conceived films, Love and Death "demonstrates again that [Allen] is an authentic comedy genius" (Cosmopolitan). Cowardly scholar Boris Grushenko (Allen) has the hots for the beautiful Sonja (Diane Keaton), but cold feet for the Napoleonic Wars. Devastated by news of Sonja's plans to wed a foul-smelling herring merchant, Boris enlists in the army -- only to return home a penniless hero! Finally agreeing to marry him, Sonja settles down with poor Boris, to a rich life of philosophy, celibacy and meals...of snow. But when the French troops invade Russia and Sonja hatches a zany scheme to assassinate Napoleon, Boris learns -- in a hilarious but fatal coup attempt -- that God is an underachiever, there are no girls in the afterlife...and that the angel of death can't be trusted!

Customer Review Fantastic blend of side-splitting, intellignet humour and Russian literature. - 4.5 out of 5  (7/12/2001) Absolutely hilarious movie, full of intelligent wit, with plenty of references, both visual and verbal, to Russian literature and art - helps if you are familiar with these subjects. Possibly Woody's best.   more >> Customer Review This will leave you scratching your head. - 2.75 out of 5  (3/22/2001) Woody Allen seems to put every conceiveable way of making a movie into this one. Everything from the Marx Brothers to French Avante Garde movie-making is in this film. It seems to be Allen telling everyone, "I can do this too - so there!" There is nothing new, no original thinking went into this movie. It's just a compilation of everything! Some jokes are good, some throw-aways.   more >>
