Review of Life of Brian (1979) by Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian — 28 Jun 1984
But what a triumph this film was for Chapman, who gave a convincing, touching performance as the bewildered everyman who decides to make a stand, and in his battle with the evil empire makes a Luke Skywalker-style discovery about his lineage.
Life of Brian is an unexpectedly earnest, sweet-natured hymn to the idea of tolerance.
