Monty Python and the Holy Grail 2-Disc DVD
King Arthur’s legendary quest is transformed into a gloriously absurd British comedy filled with coconut horses, argumentative knights and some exceptionally dangerous shrubbery.
Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his genuine love of cinema, unforgettable performances and the craft of filmmaking.
Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who understood the skill required to make complete nonsense feel perfectly timed and brilliantly constructed. His collection reflected a lifelong appreciation for memorable performances, sharp writing and comedy that could dismantle familiar stories while appearing to behave very badly indeed.
Directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, Monty Python and the Holy Grail follows King Arthur, played by Graham Chapman, as he travels across medieval Britain attempting to recruit knights for his Round Table.
After receiving a divine instruction to search for the Holy Grail, Arthur and his knights separate and encounter an increasingly ridiculous collection of obstacles. These include a stubborn Black Knight, a castle occupied by enthusiastic French soldiers and the terrifying Knights Who Say “Ni”.
The Monty Python team combine historical parody, surreal sketches, visual jokes and deliberately chaotic storytelling to create a comedy whose individual scenes have become almost as famous as the film itself.
John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones perform numerous characters throughout the adventure, switching identities, accents and levels of competence with complete confidence.
An essential addition for collectors of Monty Python, classic British comedy and films whose influence, quotations and entirely unnecessary coconut noises have endured for generations.
