Why do people like Holy Grail more?

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2002)

I mean, Holy Grail is brilliant, but Life of Brian is doubtless the best comedy ever made. With biting satire, that is both intelligent and crazy all at the same time, Life of Brian is a film which almost requires an intimate knowledge of Ancient Rome and their presence in the holy land during the time of Jesus in order to appreciate all of the jokes fully. It can only be a lack of such knowledge that could account for people preferring Holy Grail to this comical masterpiece.
