The iconic comedy troupe’s Biblical classic about an average young Jewish man who finds himself mixed up in the arrival of the Messiah.
Returning to cinemas this Easter, in glorious standard definition and mono-sound, Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things biblical with their 1979 feature film Life of Brian. Highly controversial upon its original release and banned in several countries, the film is now frequently ranked as the greatest comedy feature of all time by magazines and media outlets around the world.
Set in 33 A.D. Judea, where exasperated Romans are trying to impose some order, it is a time of chaos and change with no shortage of messiahs and followers willing to believe in them. At its centre is Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a reluctant would-be messiah, with fellow Python members John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin shining in a wide variety of comic roles.
