Following their unique realization of Arthurian legend, the Pythons interpret the Bible. Monty Python s Life of Brian sends up cornball 50s Biblical epics while lampooning celebrity culture in any era. Criterion interviews the guilty parties-- including John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin--for a track as provocative and hilarious as the film itself. Available at last in its original aspect ratio, Monty Python s Life of Brian can finally be viewed in all its--ahem--glory.C lick here for more Criterion favorites!

Monty Python delivers a scathing anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things biblical with their second--and tightest--full-len gth film. The setting is the Holy Land in 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 that parallel the life of Christ-- 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 blaspheme and mock everyone and everything from ex-lepers Pontius Pilate and the art of haggling to crazy prophets Roman centurions and crucifixion. Directed by Python Terry Jones MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN is an uproarious biblical parody that does to ancient Rome what THE HOLY GRAIL did to the Mid
