Highly controversial upon its original release and banned in several countries, the film is now frequently ranked as the greatest comedy feature of all time around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s another coming of Brian, and we are here to fill the world with laughter,\u201d the Pythons have said on the upcoming anniversary celebrations. \u201cThe\u00a0Life Of Brian\u00a0may have been set 2000 years ago, but it\u2019s a mirror of what\u2019s going on today. Except that it\u2019s funny. It\u2019s one of the most prescient films for today\u2019s society \u2013 from \u201cWe are all individuals\u201d to Stan wanting to become a woman\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood’s depiction of all things Biblical with their 1979 feature film\u00a0Life of Brian.<\/p>\n

Set in 33 A.D. Judea, where exasperated Romans are trying to impose some order, it is a time of chaos and change with no shortage of Msessiahs and followers willing to believe in them. At its centre is Brian Cohen, a reluctant would-be Messiah, who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd circumstances, providing ample opportunity for the entire Monty Python ensemble (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) to shine in multiple roles as they question everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate, and the art of haggling, to revolutionaries, crazy prophets, religious fanaticism, Roman centurions, and crucifixion.<\/p>\n

This is the third time Trafalgar Releasing will have worked with the Monty Python team following the theatrical simulcast of their 2014 ‘Monty Python Live\u00a0(mostly) \u2013 One Down Five to Go’ reunion show, which saw a phenomenal worldwide success of over 330k admissions. Trafalgar Releasing also announced last year that they had taken global (ex. French speaking territories) rights to the Python\u2019s first full feature film, ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’.<\/p>\n

Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing has said:<\/p>\n

\n

“It’s a great privilege to be working with the Monty Python team again and to bring the 40th anniversary celebrations of this seminal comedy classic to cinemas around the world. The film continues to feel fresh, relevant and hilarious after four decades.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
