Monty Python and the Holy Grail + Q&A
Producer Mark Forstater and Kim Taylor-Foster of Dark Circles in St Leonards join us for a Q&A at this very special celebration of one of cinema’s most enduring comedies.
Director: Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones
91 mins + Q&A /1975 / UK
50th Anniversary Screening of the Monty Python classic plus Q&A with producer, Mark Forstater, hosted by Kim Taylor-Foster.
History is turned on its comic head when, in tenth-century England, King Arthur travels the countryside to find knights who will join him at the Round Table in Camelot. Gathering up the men is a tale in itself but after a bit of a party at Camelot, many decide to leave only to be stopped by God, who sends them on a quest: to find the Holy Grail.
After a series of individual adventures, the knights are reunited but must face a wizard named Tim the Enchanter, killer rabbits and lessons in the use of holy hand grenades. Their quest comes to an end however when the Police intervene – just what you would expect in a Monty Python movie.
