Disc 1 (4K UHD) contains the feature film, presented in Dolby Vision HDR from the new 4K restoration supervised by Terry Gilliam, with two audio commentaries featuring Terry Gilliam, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.
Monty Python's most ambitious film turns the biblical epic on its head. In a stable in ancient Jerusalem, a child is born in the manger next door to the famous one: Brian Cohen, an ordinary Judean who grows up to fall in with a plot against the Roman empire and, through a series of absurd accidents, is hailed by the crowds as the Messiah. Packed with ribald Roman puns, pointed political satire, and a crucifixion staged as a musical number, it is the Pythons' merciless send-up of dogma and blind faith, in which nothing is sacred.
