Cast and Crew of Love and Death

Love and Death

Love and Death is a dark comedy set in czarist Russia, where a neurotic soldier, Boris Grushenko, teams up with his distant cousin Sonja to plot the assassination of Napoleon. The show blends historical intrigue with witty dialogue and a satirical look at love and war through the quirky relationship of its leads, played by Woody Allen and Diane Keaton.

Trivia: 1) Woody Allen not only stars but also wrote and directed Love and Death, showcasing his signature blend of humor and philosophy. 2) Diane Keaton was cast as Sonja partly because of her genuine chemistry with Allen, as they had previously collaborated on several projects. 3) The production paid meticulous attention to historical costumes and settings, but purposely incorporated anachronistic music cues to enhance the comedic tone.
