MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE

MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE

Country: UK
Year: 1983
Duration: 107'


Everything you have to know about life,
birth, sex, education, death and the afterlife:
the philosophy of the world according
to Monty Python in hilarious chapters,
musical skits and wicked caricatures.
At least one legendary musical number
(Every Sperm Is Sacred) and a horribly
unforgettable character (Mr Creosote).
