When Allen is drafted into the Napoleonic conflict in 19th-century Russia, he prefers to write poetry and obsess over his beautiful but pretentious cousin than fight alongside his master. Allen's cowardice serves him well when he hides in a cannon and is shot into a tent full of French soldiers, resulting in his becoming a national hero in his own country. Love and Death is a funny satire of Russian literature that is a must-see for fans of Woody Allen's films.
