This book was first published in 1999 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Monty Python’s first broadcast. I read the updated edition published in January 2019, which includes discussion of Spamalot and the group’s final shows at the O2 Arena in 2014 (was it really that long ago?). The five surviving Pythons and other key players from their career are interviewed, and in some cases their original interviews are revisited to see if their answers have changed. The book is by turns funny, touching, surprising, and candid. The only thing that would have improved it would have been a single big section of really nice photos, rather than black-and-white reproductions scattered throughout the text in varying sizes and sharpness. This is an excellent read for a Python fan, even one who thinks they know everything about the group. It will also inspire fans to go back through the catalogue and revisit material (in my case, now I have a hankering to rewatch Life of Brian). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
With a Foreword by John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight In celebration of the 50th anniversary of its BBC debut, a revised and updated edition of the complete oral history of Monty Python--an insightful, in-depth portrait of the brilliant and hysterically funny show that transformed modern comedy. Broadcast by the BBC between 1969 and 1974, Monty Python's Flying Circus introduced something completely different: a new brand of surrealistic, stream-of-consciousness comedy that pushed the traditional boundaries of format, style, and content. Blending brilliant satire with slapstick silliness, The Pythons--Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin--spoke to a generation eager to break free of the conventional. Making their way across the Atlantic and the world, the Pythons' zany approach to comedy would have a monumental influence on modern popular culture, paving the way for farcical entertainment from Saturday Night Live to The Simpsons to Austin Powers. In Monty Python Speaks, David Morgan has collected interviews with Monty Python's founding members, actors, producers, and other collaborators to produce a no-holds-barred look at the Pythons' legendary sketches and films, including Monty Python's Life of Brian, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (the inspiration for the hit Broadway musical Spamalot), and The Meaning of Life. Featuring four new chapters that focus on the group's oeuvre since the first edition's publication twenty years ago, as well as a new foreword and updated resources, Monty Python Speaks offers a fascinating peek behind the scenes of the Pythons' creative process--including the friendships and feuds--that catapulted a comedy revolution.
