Your Favorite Movie Might Have Been Banned In These Countries

Monty Python’s Life of Brian

We can always rely on the United Kingdom to throw a ban on a comedy film! Monty Python’s Life of Brian was banned upon its 1980s release due to being ‘blasphemous’. For those who haven’t seen it, the film spends a lot of time criticizing and parodying religion.

It turns out the UK wasn’t the only country upset by the film’s content. Norway and Ireland also restricted viewings of the film. At its New York screening, the film was met by protests across multiple faiths.
