THE LIFE OF BRIAN (Graham Chapman; directed by Terry Jones)
Review: “’Life of Brian” is really more about movies than about religion: It finds its origins in those countless Biblical epics where Roman legions marched up and down while intrigue waxed hot and heavy in Pilate’s inner court. The movie is the most ambitious project yet for the Python people, but had its inspiration, no doubt, in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” which took on the King Arthur legends.” —Roger Ebert, 1979
Trivia: The film was shot on location in Monastir, Tunisia, which allowed the production to reuse sets from Franco Zeffirelli’s Jesus of Nazareth (1977). —wikipedia
