Love and Death (1975) starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton. Directed by Woody Allen. Woody Allen takes on Mother Russia, portraying a Russian noble named Boris who tries to avoid fighting in the war against Napoleon but ends up becoming an accidental hero. It's all played for laughs, with Keaton as his cousin Sonja, with whom he is in love. The second time Napoleon invades Russia, Boris and Sonja cook up a hare-brained scheme to assassinate the French emperor. Sporadically funny movie is not one of Allen's best, but offers enough entertainment value to make it worth seeing. The bits where he tries to make fun of philosophers become a bit tedious. The film has no English subtitles, but does offer closed captions. Grade: B
