Monty Python's Life of Brian
Monty Python's Life of Brian, also known as Life of Brian, is a 1979 British comedy film starring and written by the comedy group Monty Python( Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin).
It was also directed by Jones.
The film tells the story of Brian Cohen( played by Chapman), a young Jewish man who is born on the same day as—and next door to — Jesus Christ, and is subsequently mistaken for the Messiah.
Following the withdrawal of funding by EMI Films just days before production was scheduled to begin, long- time Monty Python fan and former member of the Beatles, George Harrison, arranged financing for" Life of Brian" through the formation of his company HandMade Films.
The film contains themes of religious satire that were controversial at the time of its release, drawing accusations of blasphemy, and protests from some religious groups.
Thirty- nine local authorities in the United Kingdom either imposed an outright ban, or imposed an X( 18 years) certificate, effectively preventing the film from being shown, since the distributors said it could not be shown unless it was unedited and carried the original AA( 14) certificate.
Some countries, including Ireland and Norway, banned its showing, with a few of these bans lasting decades.
The filmmakers used such notoriety to benefit their marketing campaign, with posters in Sweden reading," So funny, it was banned in Norway!"
The film was a box office success, the fourth- highest- grossing film in the United Kingdom in 1979, and highest grossing of any British film in the United States that year.
It has remained popular, receiving positive reviews.
The film was named" greatest comedy film of all time" by several magazines and television networks, and it later received a 97%" Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus," One of the more cutting- edge films of the 1970s, this religious farce from the classic comedy troupe is as poignant as it is funny and satirical."
In a 2006 Channel 4 poll," Life of Brian" was ranked first on their list of the 50 Greatest Comedy Films.
Brian Song
" Brian Song" is the title song from the 1979 film" Monty Python's Life of Brian".
It was released as a single in the UK on 16 November 1979 as a Double A side with" Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
The song, which charts the growth of the Brian character to manhood, was composed by Andre Jacquemin and Dave Howman with lyrics by Michael Palin.
It was performed by sixteen- year- old Sonia Jones with a string and brass accompaniment in the style of a John Barry film theme( the entire brass section was performed via extensive multitracking by John Du Prez).
It is included on the" Monty Python's Life of Brian" album and on the CD" Monty Python Sings".
In 2013 Martin Chilton, the Culture Editor for" The Telegraph" website, listed it as one of the five best Monty Python songs.
In 2009, Jones re-recorded the song for the opening credits of the six- part documentary series, with altered lyrics referring to" Python" rather than" Brian".
Five different versions were used for the first five episodes, with Jones sounding increasingly fed up with performing the song.
On the sixth and final episode she was replaced by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson.

The Pythons (film)
The Pythons is a BBC documentary film about the Monty Python team which was shot in Tunisia in 1978, during the making of" Monty Python's Life of Brian".
As well as promoting their upcoming film, the documentary also serves as a tenth anniversary profile of the team, despite the original broadcast date of 20 June 1979 being some months ahead of both the tenth anniversary of their TV debut( in October) and the UK release of their new film( in November).
The film begins with a recap of the Pythons' solo activities since the release of" Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in 1975.
These include Eric Idle's" Rutland Weekend Television", John Cleese's" Fawlty Towers", Michael Palin and Terry Jones'" Ripping Yarns", Terry Gilliam's" Jabberwocky" and Graham Chapman's" The Odd Job".
The origins of" Monty Python's Flying Circus" are briefly covered and the film also features separately filmed comments, notably from Graham Chapman and John Cleese, about their fellow team members.
The atmosphere is relaxed throughout and, unsurprisingly, frequently humorous.
At one point the team are joined by Spike Milligan, who happened to be holidaying in Tunisia and ended up performing a cameo role in the film.
The Pythons was released as an extra on the 1999 Criterion Collection DVD of" Monty Python's Life of Brian" in the US.
It was later released in the UK on the 2003 Region 2 DVD of the film.
The 2007 DVD/ Blu-ray" Immaculate Edition" release of the film did not include the documentary.
Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl
Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl is a 1982 British concert comedy film directed by Terry Hughes( with the film segments by Ian MacNaughton) and starring the Monty Python comedy troupe( Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin) as they perform many of their sketches at the Hollywood Bowl.
The film also features Carol Cleveland in numerous supporting roles and Neil Innes performing songs.
Also present for the shows and participating as an' extra' was Python superfan Kim" Howard" Johnson.
The show also included filmed inserts which were mostly taken from two Monty Python specials," Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus", which had been broadcast on German television in 1972.
The performance was recorded on videotape during the show's four- day run starting September 26, 1980 and transferred to film.
In the wake of" Life of Brian" s worldwide success, the Pythons originally planned to release a film consisting of the two German shows redubbed and re-edited, but this proved impractical, and so" Hollywood Bowl" was released instead.
Although it mostly contains sketches from the television series, the scripts and performers are not identical to those seen on television.
The line- up also includes some sketches that predated" Monty Python's Flying Circus", including the" Four Yorkshiremen sketch", which dated from 1967's" At Last the 1948 Show".
The" Silly Olympics" sketch is from the first" Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus" episode, dubbed into English.
The original version also featured the events" 1500 m for people and their mothers" and" Hammer throw to America", whereas the latter acted as a link to the next sketch.
