Monty Python's Life of Brian is a 1979 British satirical comedy that follows Brian Cohen, a young Jewish man living under Roman occupation who is mistaken for the Messiah. The film lampoons zealotry, organized religion, and crowd mentality through a relentless string of absurd sketches that test the boundaries of conventional humor. With razor‑sharp dialogue, visual gags, and subversive wit, it coalesces into a sharp critique of dogma while embracing the joyful anarchic spirit of Monty Python.
