Monty Python strikes again with Life of Brian, a spoof of Biblical proportions that centers on Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a man who had the misfortune of being born on the same day as Jesus (Kenneth Colley). At birth, Brian is mistaken for the messiah, and it’s a recurring theme throughout his life.
Brian’s infatuation with Judith Iscariot (Sue Jones-Davies) leads him into the revolutionary factions who want to break Judaea free from Roman rule. From there, Brian’s story becomes increasingly absurd, including his face-to-face meeting with Rome’s governor of Judaea, Pontius Pilate (Michael Palin). This movie is hysterically funny for reasons you’ll just have to see for yourself.
Life of Brian is streaming on Prime Video.
