The Life of Brian - Back in UK Cinemas this Easter
This Easter, the hilarious, controversial and timeless comedy classic MONTY PYTHON’S THE LIFE OF BRIAN is showing in UK cinemas from 7 April.
A smash hit on its original release in 1979 (and banned in Harrogate), MONTY PYTHON’S THE LIFE OF BRIAN, about an ordinary man who is mistaken for the Messiah in Judea in 33 CE, has gone on to be named as No.1 in Channel 4’s 50 Greatest Comedy Films poll, is one of the Top 250 movies on IMDb, and has a staggering 96 per cent on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer.
The film tells the story of Brian (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 to shine in multiple roles as they mock everyone and everything from ex lepers, Pontius Pilate and the art of haggling to crazy prophets, Roman centurions and crucifixion.
Directed by Terry Jones, and written by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Terry Jones, with the six stars of the legendary comedy troupe playing multiple characters. It is still as irreverent, outrageous, timely and laugh out loud funny as when it was first released.
