MONTY PYTHON’S LIFE OF BRIAN (1979) w/ Monty Python pre-show

April 3 : 7:00 pm 8:45 pm

“An unholy work of satirical genius…MONTY PYTHON’S LIFE OF BRIAN still stands up as an amazing achievement, the Pythons’ masterpiece: a 90-minute sketch elevated to an entirely consistent, hugely audacious and ambitious film.” – The Guardian

This Good Friday, enjoy a biting satire of religious dogma that is, at its heart, a stirring paean to tolerance. While perhaps not quite as popular as Holy Grail, LIFE OF BRIAN is Monty Python’s true masterpiece—an inspired, brilliant, send-up of the blockbuster biblical epic that raised the hackles of Christian fundamentalists the world over when it was first released but has gone on to be recognized as one of the greatest comedy films ever made. In a stable in ancient Jerusalem, a child is born—a child who will grow up to be … Brian (Graham Chapman), an ordinary Judean who goes on to live an extraordinary life, entangled in a plot to overthrow the Roman empire and mistaken for the Messiah, among other unlikely events. Featuring ribald Roman puns, sharp political commentary, and an audacious crucifixion-themed musical number, the Pythons’ most ambitious film is a hilarious lampooning of blind faith in which nothing is sacred.

Come out before the film for a Monty Python pre-show starting at 6 pm!
