Director Owen Harris
Staring Ben Crispin, Steve Punt, Darren Boyd & Charles Edwards
Rated MA
Score 5/6

Tells the story of the outraged, and sometimes violent, response to ‘The Life of Brian’ the Monty Python movie that satirized the life of Jesus.

I find that watching a movie based on a real life event interesting, mainly because of the history you might otherwise be ignorant of. But the major problem with these movies is the dramatic license that is taken by the filmmakers where they might meld characters or overlook other aspects of what happened for the sake of the movie’s plot. Now there is no danger of that happening considering that this more of re-imagination of the events leading up to the debate on English chat show Friday Night, Saturday Morning, what was really cool was that Holy Flying Circus felt like a movie length episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. I was also very impressed with Darren Boyd’s Basil Fawlty inspired portrayal of John Cleese.
