What defines Life of Brian?
Life of Brian is a 1979 British comedy film directed by Terry Jones and written by the six members of Monty Python: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. The film is classified as a religious satire and parody, set in West Asia during the time of Christ. Produced by HandMade Films with a score by Geoffrey Burgon, the film follows Brian of Nazareth, a man perpetually mistaken for a messiah. The production famously received funding from George Harrison after initial backers withdrew, making it perhaps the most expensive cinema ticket ever purchased by a Beatles member.
