After slaying the Arthurian legend in their now classic Holy Grail, the Pythons set their sights on the Greatest Story Ever Told. Blind faith, virgin birth, crucifixion-nothing is sacred in this epic send-up of ancient times, which draws on the cornball biblical blockbusters of the 1950s to lampoon celebrity culture in any era. Criterion has gathered the guilty parties-including John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin-for two commentary tracks as provocative and hilarious as the film itself. Available for the first time in a 16:9 enhanced transfer, Monty Python's Life of Brian can finally be viewed in all its - ahem - glory.

Monty Python's Life of Brian
Monty Python's Life of Brian is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Created on the high-definition Spirit Datacine, this new digital transfer was made from a new 35mm low contrast print manufactured from the original negative. The sound was made from the original stereo magnetic tracks.
