Comedy Early 19th Century. Boris Grushenko lives in a small Russian village obsessed with death and his cousin Sonia, who is about to marry a herring trader. Obliged by his family, Boris enlists in the army to fight against Napoleon. Time sees him turn into a war hero to the extent, despite his pacifist convictions, of holding Europe’s fate at gun point.

	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[Allen's] most ambitious experiment with the comic possibilities of film (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Besides being one of Woody's most consistently witty films, 'Love and Death' marks a couple of other advances for Mr. Allen as a film maker and for Miss Keaton as a wickedly funny comedienne."
		Time Out	"An almost total treat."
		Ian Nathan Empire	"One of the 'early funny ones' this has a high gag count and is a favourite of most Woody fans (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Michael Scheinfeld TV Guide	"Allen's hilarious satire of classic Russian literature, might properly be described as Tolstoy meets the Marx Bros (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
