Monty Python's Life of Brian
(1979)A motion picture destined to offend nearly two thirds of the civilized world. And severely annoy the other third.
Monty Python's classic religious satire about poor old Brian, born on Christmas in the stable next to Jesus, who spends his life being mistaken for the Messiah. Due to its sensitive subject matter, the film was banned in both Norway and Ireland for blasphemy when first released.

A beautiful film, a perfect comedy, and a gentle triumph of silliness over pomposity, self-importance, and intolerance. Full Review
Funny, in that peculiar British way where jokes are told sideways, with the obvious point and then the delayed zinger. Full Review
A stylistically eclectic comic masterpiece. Full Review
Bad taste of this order is rare but not yet dead. Full Review
Python successfully lampoon religious attitudes rather than religion itself. Full Review
Just as wacky and imaginative as their earlier film outings. Full Review
