An amusing compilation of television productions of the inimitable Monty Python troupe. Throughout their adventures, the Python crew eschews realism in favor of anachronistic social satire, a recipe they later returned to in their 1979 Biblical farce, Monty Python's Life of Bryan . A scathing satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things Biblical. The setting is the Holy Land in 32 A.D., a time of poverty and chaos with no shortage of messiahs, followers willing to believe in them, and exasperated Romans trying to impose some order.
Irrepressible lunacy abounds as the group presents a series of well-conceived sketches.
The Python clan are at their bawdy best as they satirize religion, birth control, British politics, and, of course, sex. All Rights Reserved.
