| Love and Death | comment |
Love and Death is a 1975 Woody Allen comedy film that is an Affectionate Parody of Russian novels, with a particular debt to War and Peace. It's Allen's last totally comedic film before Tom Hanks Syndrome hit, and he considers it one of his favorites of his work.The film deals with Boris Grushenko (Allen), who like many other Allen protagonists, is a cowardly young man with intellectual pretensions. Grushenko is drafted into the Napoleonic wars and ultimately roped into an assassination attempt on Napoléon Bonaparte (James Tolkan).Not to be confused with the 2023 crime miniseries. | |

One Scene, Two Monologues: A literal example. Boris has been challenged to a duel, and asks Sonya to marry him if he manages to survive. They then go into alternating inner monologues, with Sonya considering the various reasons why or why not to say yes, and Boris, certain of his imminent death, becoming rather fixated on the imagery of wheat. | |

Unnecessary Time Precision: Boris owes his Sex God abilities to constant masturbation. Flabbergasted, the Countess asks him about the last time he was intimate with a woman. He starts counting days of the week, giving the impression that his last sexy encounter was very recent. As it turns out, it's been two years. | |

Drill Sergeant Nasty: Boris has to deal with one when he joins the army. An African-American one. In Imperial Russia. Well, Pushkin's grandfather was a black Ethopian mercenary who fought under Peter the Great, but in this case, it was probably to fulfill two tropes. Ironically, it predates the performance by Louis Gossett, Jr. in An Officer and a Gentleman. | |

All Love Is Unrequited: Played straight. Boris has been in love with his cousin Sonja since they were kids, but she pines futilely for his idiot brother Ivan, who in turn only has eyes for Anna. Later parodied when Sonja's mopey cousin Natasha lists a long string of her acquaintances who are all pining after each other. | |

Everybody Has Lots of Sex: The film ends with Boris Breaking the Fourth Wall and sharing some of his musings about life with the audience. At one point he says, "It's not the quantity of your sexual relations that count, it's the quality. On the other hand, if the quantity drops below once every eight months, I would definitely look into it." | |

Shout-Out | |
| Love and Death / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Parodies of shots from Ingmar Bergman and Sergei Eisenstein movies. The famous "Rising Lion" montage from The Battleship Potemkin is spoofed when Boris and the Countess have sex; the final lion plops down exhausted. The scenes of Boris with the Grim Reaper are obvious nods to The Seventh Seal. The ending of the wheat scene, with Sonja and Natasha's faces superimposed is an Homage Shot to Persona (1966). | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Boris's father. Also Boris and Sonja, whenever they talk about philosophy or go off into their respective internal monologues: | |

Mortality Phobia | |
| Love and Death / int_d366883d | comment |
Mortality Phobia: Boris lives in constant fear of dying, as a result of somehow meeting the Grim Reaper as a child, and this fear informs most of his acts of cowardice throughout the movie. | |

Historical In-Joke | |
| Love and Death / int_dfe57573 | comment |
Historical In-Joke: Fyodor Dostoevsky was sent to a firing squad, but unlike Boris, he was spared at the last moment. Napoleon really was obsessed with having a dessert named after himself. | |

Last Wish Marriage | |
| Love and Death / int_f5954c2c | comment |
Last Wish Marriage: Sonya agrees to marry her nebbish cousin Boris because he's been challenged to a duel and fully expects that he'd be killed, and she figures that she can do him a simple kindness. She's a bit taken aback when he actually survives and she actually has to live with him. | |
