Monty Python and the Holy Grail - 40th anniversary

MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL ★ 40th anniversary ★
Wednesday, October 14, 2015, 7.15 p.m.



Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition, but the crew of Monty Python is again taking us completely by surprise and totally unarmed with their restored version of MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. This is how Kino Pod Baranami along with hundreds of theatres in the world is going to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film’s premiere.

Yes, we all have seen it plenty of times, but this special occasion is reason enough to watch it again, this time on Kino Pod Baranami’s silver screen. Let’s join King Arthur and his band of faithfull knights in their quest to seek the Holy Grail. Four decades after its premiere, the absurdity and nonsense still feels freshly absurd and purely nonsensical.

Tickets for Monty Python’s big comeback on the scene in 2014 sold out in 43 seconds and gentlemen don’t seem to get tired of making people laugh. They don’t hide the fact why they’re doing it. (...) it’s all to do with my mortgage, really. I have to pay off my mortgage, and John Cleese has to pay off his alimony. So that’s why we’re doing it. We need the money! - says Terry Jones with incurable honesty. But can we blame them? Not really, as long as witches are made of wood.

The screening will be accompanied by a specially filmed, exclusive introductions from Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and John Cleese. And three songs prepared to sing along will serve as the icing on the cake.

*Screening in original version with Polish subtitles.


TICKETS: 23 PLN - on sale!
Availiable at the cash desk and online.

ABOUT THE FILM:

MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL
dir. Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Great Britain 1975, 91’

With their second feature film, the Pythons not only redefined the limits of narrative structure (basically by ignoring them), but also took innovative and unconventional styles of filming and applied them to comedy.

Never have so few suffered for the enjoyment of so many.
One of the directors on making the movie

Matt Damon’s costumes were impossible to wear, because they were made of polyester and he was sweating awfully in them, but they had incredible patterns. We were making costumes out of tablecloths and showe curtains.
One of the directors on something completely different

It has a story with an approximate beginning, an approximate middle and it ends, or perhaps I should say that it stops after a while.
New York Times, 1975
