British comedy troupe Monty Python tackled many taboo topics, including the combustible combination of religion and politics, in the 1979 film Life of Brian. So controversial was Python’s flick that it became the first film in the United States to be rated “R.” Now, 35 years later, the movie still rubs some people the wrong way, yet is considered a comedic gem by legions of loyal fans. Python aficianados can laugh together when Life of Brian hits the big screen again.
