REVIEW
Directed by Terry Jones and cleverly written by the Monty Python team.
A biblical film in the funniest sense...
Brian, (Graham Chapman) is followed and worshiped as he goes about his daily chores and is over come by them thinking he is the messiah.
The Monty Python team deliver the funniest film and twists the story of Jesus of Nazareth into a hilarious film of mistaken identity from birth to Crucifixion.
