The Escape of Brian
23 February 2023
A fun comedy starring two popular British comedy actors from the last decades of the 20th century, Eric Idle, from Monty Python, and Robbie Coltrane (the latter became famous for the character Hagrid, in the Harry Potter film series).

The argument has little originality. Two criminals on the run take refuge in a convent dressed as nuns. The idea is inspired by successful classics such as Some Like it Hot or Les Gendarmes et les Extra-terrestres but will have influenced another great success, such as the series of films Sister Act, with Woopy Goldberg.

It's not Monty Python but it's not Carry On either. Written and directed by Jonathan Lynn, it's a farce that entertains and provides a few good laughs.
