Front cover of Monty Python’s Life of Brian [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray] | peakbooks.shop
Monty Python’s Life of Brian 4K Ultra HD captures the British comedy troupe at the height of their anarchic brilliance, delivering a fearless satire that skewers religious dogma, political fanaticism, and mass hysteria with razor-sharp wit. Widely regarded as their most ambitious and controversial film, Life of Brian remains a landmark of irreverent comedy and cinematic audacity.
 
Born in a stable in ancient Jerusalem—just down the road from history’s most famous manger—Brian Cohen grows up to live a life defined by extraordinary misunderstanding. Played by Graham Chapman, Brian is an ordinary man repeatedly mistaken for the Messiah, becoming entangled in revolutionary movements, Roman oppression, and crowds desperate for meaning. Packed with bawdy wordplay, savage political humor, and the unforgettable crucifixion musical finale “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” the film dismantles blind faith and authority while remaining relentlessly funny.
 
This Python-approved Criterion edition presents Life of Brian in a new 4K digital restoration supervised by Terry Gilliam, accompanied by multiple audio commentaries, documentaries, deleted scenes, and archival materials that trace the film’s creation, controversy, and enduring legacy.
