Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things biblical with their 1979 featurefilm Life of Brian. Highly controversial upon itsoriginal release and banned in several countries, the film is now frequently ranked as the greatest comedy featureof all timebymagazines and media outlets around the world. As Monty Python member Terry Gilliam says, It rips bare and makes you laugh at the worldweve created for ourselves. Set in 33 A.D. Judea,where exasperated Romans are tryingto 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 centreis Brian Cohen, a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd circumstances providing ample opportunity for the entire Monty Python ensemble (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) to shine in multiple roles as they question everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilateand the art of haggling,to revolutionaries, crazy prophets, religious fanaticism, Roman centurions and crucifixion.
