Monty Pythons-The Meaning Of Life

If you've ever wanted to confront the great questions of existence head on, then you should probably read 'A History of Western Civilisation' by Bertrand Russell. If it's a long way to your local library, however, or if you are afraid of contracting one of the rare dermatological diseases that can be picked up by handling too many serious books, then this hand-crafted DVD disc, in full colour and with rewind facilities, could be the answer you've been looking for. Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin have distilled a lifetime's experience (although no-one is quite sure whose) into this cornucopia of erudition, enlightenment.

Synopsis

Those six pandemonium-mad Pythons are back with their craziest adventure ever! John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin have returned to explain The Meaning of Life. These naughty Brits offer the usual tasteful sketches involving favorite body parts and bodily functions, the wonders of war, the miracle of birth and a special preview of what's waiting for us in Heaven. Nothing is too sacred for the probing Python crew. You'll never look at life in quite the same way again. Time pronounces it "an exhilarating experience!" Newsweek agrees, calling it, "the best movie from England's satirical sextet." Winner of the 1983 Cannes Film Festival Special Jury Award.
