Love and Death - 1975 ***




Planning to assassinate Napoleon was never this much fun! Well of course it's Woody Allen and therefore it's going to be bizarre, funny and totally random. Allen plays a cowardly Russian peasant who is forced into enlisting in the army against his will, getting himself into some typically ridiculous and toe-curling situations as he does so!


Diane Keaton is pleasantly fresh and youthful looking in this and bounces off the manic and unmatched Woody in every scene they share. It's not taking a place next to my 2 favourite Woody films quite yet, but there are still other Woody films to see before I can construct my top 5 favourites. Definitely one of the funniest however.
