About

The controversial comedy classic Monty Python’s Life of Brian is a razor-sharp skewering of organised religion, modern politics and celebrity worship. When Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman) is born in a stable right next to the baby Jesus, he begins a life that intertwines and comedically parallels that of the Christian Messiah. Often considered one of the greatest comedies ever made, Life of Brian finds the very naughty boys of Monty Python at their most hilarious.
