Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Gilliam/Jones, 1975): Cinema Museum, 7.30pm
This is a 35mm presentation.
The Cinema Museum report that the rights holders Python (Monty) Pictures wish to remind
film lovers that this ISN’T a quote-along screening and please not to
come in costume. Thank You.
Chicago Reader review:
Silly,
sophomoric, and slapped together—but would you want it any other way?
The Pythons' second feature (1975) is full of things that even the
relatively tolerant BBC wouldn't allow—including real violence, real
pestilence, real death, and other comic devices. TV's 30-minute format
may be better suited to the team's fragile conceits (the killer bunny
bit seems to go on forever), but for all the stretching the film never
snaps. Look sharp for the Ken Russell hommages. Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam directed.
