Trafalgar Releasing is planning a series of screenings of Monty Python’s Life of Brian for Easter in selected markets where cinemas are open, including Australia, New Zealand and the US.

It’s hoped that screenings of the classic comedy will bring a much-needed laugh to cinema audiences following the past year.

Monty Python delivered a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood’s depiction of all things biblical with their 1979 feature film Life of Brian.

Highly controversial upon its original release and banned in several countries, the film is now frequently ranked as the greatest comedy feature of all time by magazines and media outlets around the world. 

As Monty Python member Terry Gilliam says, “It rips bare and makes you laugh at the world we’ve created for ourselves.”
