"Love and Death" is certainly the best parody on the entire Russian
classical literature. Great humor, a brilliant mixture of a slapstick and
intellectual comedy. Smejats'a, pravo, ne greshno, nad tem, chto kazhts'a
smeshno. Sometimes it is so nice to look at all those Tolstovian and
Dostoyevskian "quests for the meaning of life" with a sense of humor.
