About

One of the most celebrated comedies ever committed to celluloid, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a riotous riff on the Arthurian legend. After being directed by God – rendered in one of Terry Gilliam’s inimitable animated sequences – to locate the Holy Grail, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) sets out with his newly recruited knights to locate the mystical item. From killer rabbits and cave monsters to tireless combatants and Knights Who Say ‘Ni!’, their odyssey across Medieval Britain is a cavalcade of iconic comedy set pieces delivered with Monty Python’s legendary anarchic spirit.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail will screen from an archival 35mm print.

PG | Mild comedic violence, coarse language and sexual references
