Review of Life of Brian (1979) by Brendan N — 06 Nov 2018

Monty Python created another successful cult classic after Holy Grail. Many will argue this is a better film but I find both films are clever and successful in their own way. Life of Brian is definitely the more commerical of the two films and was more successful at the box office, the topic was definitely ahead of its time.

I wish they would create more films like the Life of Brian, sketch comedy is very hard to do and Monty Python make it look so easy. The classic conclusion showcases how original Monty Python were. This is easily one of the greatest comedies ever created, it is topical and original and would serve modern filmmakers a template on how to create something truly wonderful and memorable.

A must see.
