film — UK — 1982

Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Graham Chapman and Michael Palin. Do you know who these people are? Do you at least know where you are? You`re lost in America. But these people were once known as the "Monty Python`s Flying Circus". That was way back - some 30 years ago they disbandoned for different projects only occasionaly performing the good ol` Python stuff. And this was one of the occasions. In lates 70`s they played the same arena where the only official Beatles concert album was made. And boy did they know how to make people laugh! The "When we were young we had it tough" sketch absolutely makes blood in my veins turn to wine, and so does "the ministry for silly walks". At some parts video material is shown to the audience, for example the majestic soccer final between Greek and German philosophers, where Greeks become the champions thus predicting the victors of the 2004 European Championships. Still some of the sketches aren`t particulary entertaining but you can always skip them for the best stuff.
