| The Life of Brian |
Dir. Terry Jones UK 1979
Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire
of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things biblical with The
Life of Brian. The setting is Judea 33 A.D, a time of poverty and chaos,
with no shortage of messiahs, followers willing to believe in them, and
exasperated Romans trying to impose some order. At the center of it all is
Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to
prominence as a result of a series of absurd and truly hilarious circumstances
providing ample opportunity for the entire ensemble (John Cleese, Eric Idle,
Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Chapman) to shine in multiple
roles as they mock everyone and everything: ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate, the art of haggling,
crazy prophets, Roman centurions, and crucifixion. (94m)
