Why watch this film?
Up until then famous on British TV, the members of Monty Python ventured for the first time with a true feature film for the cinema - the first film, released in 1971, was just a set of sketches from the show 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. With 'The Holy Grail', the troupe created a work that became a landmark of English humor around the rest of the world. With low budget, the Pythons' creativity stood out, making humor even out of adversities (like forgetting, for example, about the knights riding without horses - there was not enough money to get real animals). This also was the first feature film directed by Terry Gilliam, a member of the group and who would later become one of Hollywood's great filmmakers through films like 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen' and '12 Monkeys'.

Plot summary
The Monty Python team are at it again in their second movie. This time we follow King Arthur and his knights in their search for the Holy Grail. This isn't your average medieval knights and horses story - for a start, due to a shortage in the kingdom, all the horses have been replaced by servants clopping coconuts together!

Monty Python's the Meaning of Life
The last movie made by the British troupe for theaters, 'The Meaning of Life' follows a format closer to their classic TV series: 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. It is a series of more or less connected sketches and musical numbers that follows a man's life from birth to death. With a lot of black humor and offensive jokes, it is the group’s boldest—and paradoxically funniest—film.

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
Terry Gilliam is one of the most important names in world cinema. One of the founders of the 'Monty Phyton' troupe, he signed productions such as 'Brazil: The Movie' and 'Twelve Monkeys'. 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote' is one of his most ambitious projects, which was started in 1989 and had recordings started in 2000, but the project was wrecked due to the most diverse problems. Gilliam finally managed to fulfill his dream, now with a cast that includes names such as Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce. Unfortunately, the feature film did not deliver everything the critics wanted after 30 years of waiting, although it is a good movie and has its successes.

12 Monkeys
With a script full of comings and goings, the film bets on time travel and an apocalyptic future to also make a social critique. Highlight for the trio of protagonists - Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt - who manage to deliver an impeccable performance, which even earned Pitt an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. A dense movie to watch with attention, but rewarding for the viewer.

![Outsider Girls](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/cRSp4H/thumb/outsider-girls_gfUGunI.jpeg)
Outsider Girls
Outsider Girls (original Spanish title: Las demás) is the feature film debut of Chilean filmmaker Alexandra Hyland as both director and screenwriter, and its art direction, music, editing, and staging, as well as its context and themes, embody a spirit that can only be described as "punk." The plot follows two best friends from university, whose lives are turned upside down when one of them becomes pregnant. Together, they embark on a quest to obtain an abortion in a country where it is still illegal. This is a great comedy that, in a carefree tone, without prejudice but also without concessions, highlights the hypocrisies of social, cultural, and political life in Chile, echoing experiences in other regions of Latin America.
![Problemista](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/mc4yPG/thumb/problemista_fqYJkEg.jpeg)
Problemista
Directed, written, and starred by Salvadoran comedian Julio Torres (Los Espookys), Problemista is a comedy that presents an absurd premise and doesn't worry about its credibility, and instead embraces its ridiculousness and runs with it. Set in an unspecified time in New York, Álex (Torres) aspires to be a toy inventor at Hasbro, with ideas as absurd as Barbies with crossed fingers or Cabbage Patch dolls with cellphones. To make ends meet, he works at a cryogenization clinic that freezes patients to wake up in the future (although there's no certainty that such technology will exist). When he is fired, he takes a job as an assistant to the neurotic Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton at her finest), who harbors the unreal idea of curating an exhibition of her artist husband's paintings, one of the frozen patients. With a production design that indulges in camp (closer to Roger Waters than to Pedro Almodóvar), using cheap costumes and ridiculous digital special effects, Torres builds a surreal and amusing atmosphere that satirizes the twisted difficulties of living in the United States (especially for Latin immigrants), the banal and stupid egocentrism of the cultural elites, and the absurdity of corporatism. Its eccentricity may repel some, but if you approach it on these terms, you'll leave the cinema having seen something truly unique.
