"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But, then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness — I hope you're getting this down."

Sometimes ridiculously funny, other times just ridiculous. I believe this might just be my favorite Diane Keaton performance. She owns the material well. I wish this kind of crazy, go-for-broke Woody surfaced more in his later films.

great early Woody Allen. hadn't quite married his top shelf one-liners (passive resistance vs active fleeing anyone?) with a taught structure to support them yet, but the results are really fun to watch. loaded with uneven Seventh Seal plot points and later Bergman visual references, and who remembered Jessica Harper? this was the first Woody Allen movie i ever saw many years ago and i still enjoy it tremendously.

Woody Allen is someone I absolutely loathe watching on screen. Ugly little creature. But this film is chock full of laffs. Hilarious shit yo.

A failed attempt to prove some point. It would be better as a documentary than as a film.

An overwhelmingly overlooked Woody Allen film compared to his later works. This film was right after Sleeper and right before Annie Hall, and you can definitely tell that this is a bit of a mix of comedy and drama, slapstick humor and intellectual humor, and so on. As well, its simply a hilarious film that works on a deep philosophical level.

i believe love and death is the most sophisticated work of woody allen. the scenes are full of metaphors, references to literature and cinema and social criticism. Yet one who does not get what Allen is referring to in a scene can enjoy the movie as it is. Every time you see love and death, you catch something new. Allen's genius manifests itself in love and death.
