Monty Python's Life of Brian

Surreal comedy about a man named Brian who is mistakenly hailed as the Messiah by a trio of not-so-wise men and then is doggedly followed by a troop of admiring worshippers.

Surreal and controversial comedy about a man named Brian who is mistakenly hailed as the Messiah by a trio of not-so-wise men. Doomed to a life of public exposure, he is doggedly followed by a troop of admiring worshippers. At the time of the film's release, the glaring parallels with the life of Christ caused controversy on both sides of the Atlantic.
