‘Life of Brian’ Returns for All the Faithful—and Unfaithful

1/29/08 at 1:00 PM

Either you’re a Monty Python fan or you’re not, and if you’re not, well, maybe it’s because you haven’t seen this masterpiece, now available to Python nerds cheap, on the highest-quality transfer yet. The story of Brian, who is born in the manger next to Jesus Christ, isn’t even blasphemous — it lampoons the herd mentality more than Christianity — but it is hysterically funny. And kind of a sweet, too, a clear influence on The Simpsons’s Christian humor. The set comes with one new documentary, five deleted scenes, and some hilarious radio ads by friends and relatives of the cast.
