MONTY PYTHON’S LIFE OF BRIAN TERRY JONES

When: 1979 What: Film Where: Ireland, Norway, South Africa, USA and UK (some cities)

The second film from the Monty Python team drew a lot of attention from Christian groups, who said it was blasphemous for its satire of religion in the time of Jesus. It was blocked by some city councils in the UK, banned in Ireland for eight years, and even where it was screened it was sometimes picketed by protestors.
