!! [[Film/LoveAndDeath The movie]]:
* GeniusBonus: There are a ''lot'' of references to Russian literature (particularly Creator/LeoTolstoy and Creator/FyodorDostoevsky) as well as to the films of Creator/IngmarBergman and Creator/SergeiEisenstein.
* HarsherInHindsight: The film refers to suicide numerous times. Olga Georges-Picot, the actress who plays Countess Alexandrovna, took her own life. She suffered from severe depression throughout her life and fell from a Paris building during a bout with the illness.
* OneSceneWonder: Creator/JessicaHarper provides a superb example of TheComicallySerious as Natasha, Sonja's mopey cousin who goes on and on about her LoveDodecahedron.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: PlayedForLaughs. The slap sound effect when the Countess' fiancee smacks Boris. He very visibly misses but the sound effects acts as if struck Boris.
