‘Love and Death’ (1975) “This magnificent, often anarchic pastiche of Russian literature’s portentous habits with a side order in Bergmanesque death wallowing actually finds Allen at his silliest. Which also means it is extraordinarily clever silliness, with designs deliberately stolen from Chaplin, Keaton and the Marx Brothers. It is film that explores comedy’s infinite variety via the medium of the existential philosophy of those big Russian sagas slumped in history like sulking teenagers.” -

If it’s been more than a year since you last watched ‘Annie Hall’ (1977), this is your official reminder to fix your life. Watch it again. Laugh. Overanalyse your relationships. Maybe buy a hat. | Woody Allen Films
