Monty Python's Life of Brian

1979

Monty Python's Life of Brian is a 1979 British black comedy film starring and written by the comedy group Monty Python. Directed by Jones, the film incorporates surrealism and satire which parodies the biblical history of the birth and death of Jesus Christ. The film tells the story of Brian Cohen, a young Judaean man who is born on the same day as—and next door to—Jesus, and is subsequently mistaken for the Messiah.
