Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1973)
Director: Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Python's delightful and, on the whole, consistent reductio ad absurdum of the Grail legend, in which the Knights forsake their chorus line can-can dancing at Camelot for a higher aim. The Pythons set up a 'historical' tale as the sum total of modern anachronisms and misconceptions about it, a format repeated in The Life of Brian.Author: CPe
