"Many filmmakers have tackled the issue of the meaning of life; but none have tried, at least so successfully and well, to tackle it within the boundaries of the commercial film. And so, Monty Python show their comedic and creative genius by pulling this wonderful film out of the hat, in which through a series of short episodes they try to give an answer to the unanswerable question. In doing so, they make their most poetic film and the one that strengthens their reputation in audacity and intelligence as well as comedy wit and poignancy."
