Life of Brian
1979 | Comedy | UK | Directed by Terry Jones
Overview
A Bethlehem neighbor is mistaken for the messiah and spends the film telling everyone to stop following him. Banned in several countries and picketed elsewhere, it became a cause and a box office hit. Blessed are the cheesemakers, the Latin lesson, and Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, sung on a cross, redefined what comedy could get away with.
