Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) (original) (raw)

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. Caught in the middle is Brian Cohen, who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd circumstances providing ample opportunity for the Monty Python ensemble to mock everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate, and the art of haggling to crazy prophets, Roman centurions, and crucifixion.
