"A non-stop orgy of assaults, not on anyone's virtue, but on the funny bone."
-- Vincent Canby, The New York Times
Following their unique realization of Arthurian legend, the Pythons interpret the Bible. Monty Python's Life of Brian sends up cornball '50s Biblical epics while lampooning celebrity culture in any era. Criterion interviews the guilty parties -- including John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin -- for a track as provocative and hilarious as the film itself. Available at last in its original aspect ratio, Monty Python's Life of Brian can finally be viewed in all its 'ahem' glory.
Criterion's Python Approved special edition of Life of Brian features:
- New digital widescreen transfer
- Audio commentary by John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin
- The original theatrical trailer
- Deleted scenes
