Directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, written and performed by the Monty Python team.
Sinekatalog’s take
A low-budget masterpiece of absurdist comedy that is still being quoted fifty years on. Its short, sharp sketches and anarchic spirit make it one of the most loved British comedies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
