Life of Brian holds up very well after 30 years, and still has the power to shock. However, current tastes and sensitivities make it highly unlikely that a comedy group would even attempt making a film like Brian today.
That said, the film’s view of blind faith seems as apposite as ever...
Let's not mince words: it's the best parody of religion and the greatest comic film of all time, and it appeals to a wide spectrum of people including the enlightened religious. If they wouldn't make it now, that's a very sad commentary on now.
