Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Country: GB
Technical: col 90m
Director: Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones
Cast: The Pythons, Connie Booth, Carol Cleveland
Synopsis:
King Arthur and his knights go in search of the Grail, only to be thwarted by bolshy peasants, naughty nuns, French impostors...and the Police.
Review:
The best and most imaginative big-screen outing by the television comedy team. Their fascination with the Dark Ages is vividly conveyed in a series of vignettes mingling scholarly authenticity, albeit mediaeval, with jubilant anachronism. Technical credits are first-rate and the locations breathtaking. If the film could be flattered with trying to say anything, it would surely be that there is no place for ancient values in today's world.
