| Description |
directed by Terry Jones (UK, 1979) The setting is Judea 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 centre of it all is Brian, a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd and truly hilarious circumstances providing ample opportunity for the entire Monty Python ensemble to shine in multiple roles as they mock everyone and everything, from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate and the art of haggling to crazy prophets, Roman centurions and crucifixion. |
